Our chief instructor Brad Hicks has mentored under and trained with many of the worlds most elite firearms instructors, including James Yeager (Tactical Response), Tom Givens (Rangemaster), Craig Douglas (Shivworks), Massad Ayoob (Massad Ayoob Group), and Andy Stanford (OPS). Aside from mentoring under and training with the worlds most elite weapons and tactics instructors, Brad has had hundreds of formal training hours from various former Navy SEALs, private Security Contractors, and SWAT members. Having the knowledge to teach firearms and tactics classes is only one piece of the equation, which is why Brad is also a graduate of the National Rifle Associations Pistol Instructor program and Tactical Response's Tactical Instructor program, both of which are Nationally recognized accreditations. Brad strongly believes in maintaining a non-itimadating, engaging, and highly informative class. Staying on the cutting edge, Brad continues to consistently train with the world's most respected gun fighters, instructors, and martial artist's to enhance the curriculum for our students.
