About Speaker

David has been shooting firearms since he was a young man, ultimately starting his formal firearms training when he first attended the “Defender Series” handgun course with Adam Winch of Defenders USA in 2015.​

Before then, Dave had competed in “Cowboy Action Shooting” and won multiple events. He has competed in archery competitions and still competes in blackpowder shoots, all while being an avid hunter.​

Dave has a love for the individual and Jesus and he believes everyone should have proper firearms training in order to responsibly carry a firearm in preparation for the day they may unfortunately need to defend life against evil.​

Dave has deeply studied the art and nuances of firearms use and self defense, the many legal and emotional impacts, and has assisted in many Defenders USA firearms courses over the years, becoming so skilled that it has been an honor to welcome him as a Certified Firearms Instructor with Defenders USA. He continues to read, train, practice and learn, constantly growing his skills at both the use of firearms and in effectively teaching others while also constantly growing and refining his own skills.
