I’m the owner, operator and instructor at ALPHA TANGO. I was blessed (or cursed, depending on who you ask) with a lifelong fascination with anything that goes bang. To that end, I have spent last 15 years dedicated to seeking out training to improve my skills and broaden my experience, with a goal of building mastery of the fundamental techniques, tactics and mental strategies of preparedness.

Besides having my Federal Firearms License, I’m just a regular guy. I’m a husband, a father, a business owner and a citizen. I only mention this to point out that you don’t need prior military or law enforcement experience to build a fighting mindset and master the fundamentals of marksmanship.

I believe the best way to win a gunfight is to avoid one in the first place. I continuously strive to develop my focus on situational awareness and preemptive behavioral responses. Action always beats reaction, so developing the skills needed to see trouble coming gives you the ability to beat feet or mount an appropriate response.
