Xtreme Tactical Defense

I started shooting competitions in 2009 and the shooting bug got me from the start. Shooting everything I could, every weekend I could. I wanted to get all the certifications that I could so I took classes and training under some of the sports top instructors helped me get to be at the level I am at today. I still try to take classes or squad up with the top professionals when I can to gain any knowledge from shooting with them. I have trained with LEO and the military on reactive shooter engagements as well. From there I went to work in the firearms industry for the past 10+ years.
