About Us

 

Why I started Golden Bear Solutions...

I am a Father and Husband, who loves combining teaching and coaching with firearms training to develop a deeper knowledge base for students to become more proficient and comfortable with their firearms and self defense.

I've been shooting since I was 12, but seriously training since Aug of 2023. Through numerous classes and instructors I have absorbed everything possible and love the unique approach each instructor has presented the basic principles and advanced techniques in handling and operating a firearm effectively and efficiently. I now can share with students and fellow shooters with various levels of classes, private instruction, and programing.

When I'm not instructing firearms, I enjoy teaching young men valuable life lessons through the sport of lacrosse as a local high school head coach. I love being able to work with young athlete’s and help build accountable and productive young men with the sport. Lacrosse has given me tremendous opportunities and an incredible network of relationships the same way shooting has.

As I have grown as an instructor I have been blessed with building a robust network of clients from all walks of life. I am always amazed at the bond self development can build between individuals. I look to continue that education for myself and my community to help share and transfer the knowledge I have earned through training so that others may do the same. 

I enjoy shooting competitively in the USPSA, Steel Challenge, IDPA, and PCSL. I look for continual education everywhere I can, having trained with some of the best in the world I am on a constant mission to grow and do my best to inspire clients to do the same.
