Lou

NRA Certified Firearms Instructor

Lou has over 40 years of combined US Navy, Law Enforcement/Fire Service, and Private Security experience. He has since retired from the Pacific Northwest. His goals are to expand his NRA certifications and teach shooters of all experience levels to sharpen their skills.

Lou began “pressing” a trigger at the age of 7 and has been dedicated to shooting sports ever since. He competed on his high school rifle team (yes, that was a thing in the day). Lou is a seasoned first responder, submariner, hostage negotiator, and critical incident manager.  Despite a high-octane career, he brings calm and experience to his firearm instruction, to instill his students with a sense of confidence and success.

Lou has two rules when it come to firearms training. Be safe and have fun.
