About Us

A veteran of the United States Marine Corps, Jeff’s Company was assigned to SOCPAC (Special Operations Command Pacific) and led a team in a Sparrowhawk (Helicopter Operations) platoon. Teaching has always been a passion for him. When asked why he loves teaching, he simply said, anytime I want to learn something, I create a class for it and teach it to myself first. Showing people how to defend themselves and their families is paramount, and he believes that self-defense is a skill everyone should learn. As the Training Manager for Bullet and Barrel, he always tries to give his students the knowledge and confidence to be a safe marksman first, and finally, a responsibly armed citizen. Jeff also received certification from the Modern Samurai Project to instruct the use of red dot sights on pistols.
