[cmshoot]

I am a former United States Marine Corps Scout/Sniper. In addition to being a Scout/Sniper, I also served tours as a Small Arms Instructor, Marine Security Guard and Range NCOIC of the Stone Bay Pistol Range, the main and largest pistol range of Camp Lejeune, NC. I was a Jungle Patrol Leader for the Marine Barracks, Subic Bay, Republic of the Philippines and shot competitively for the 2nd Bn 8th Marines Rifle/Pistol Team. I was a Scout/Sniper Team Leader in Operation Restore Hope, Mogadishu, Somalia.

I trained with American military units such as FAST Co, Marine Force Recon, ANGLICO, US Navy SEALs, and the US Army Rangers. I also trained with numerous foreign military units, including 2e Etranger 1e Compagnie of the French Foreign Legion, the British Royal Marines, Canadian Airborne, Royal Dutch Marines, Philippine Marines, Russian Naval Infantry and the ROK Marines.

I hold Instructor certifications from various government and private entities for Sniper/CounterSniper/Precision Rifle, Carbine, Shotgun, Pistol, SMG, Less Lethal, Use of Force and Tactics. I have been a Sniper and Sniper Instructor for over 20 years. I am also a Remington 700 Armorer.

Usually, my Precision Rifle/Sniper Classes are held on a one-on-one basis, or in small groups of 3 or less.
