Welcome to our site. I am the Founder  and Lead Instructor, of Primed Guardians, LLC. I started this company after retiring from the United States Army as an Officer in 2019 to meet the needs of my community.  Too often I ran into people that felt disempowered and fearful about their personal safety and yet didn't know their rights regarding gun ownership.  Moreso I knew people who owned guns but lacked proper training on how to safely employ their guns and thus didn't use them. There were another category of individuals I ran into who were intimidated about seeking training and information about their gun rights and the laws concerning their firearms.  The most dangerous group I ran into was those that owned guns, lacked proper training, who did use them carelessly and caused injuriews.  That was the impetus for me to get as much training as possible in order to  serve my community in a different capacity.  My cerifications now include: NRA Basic Pistol Instructor, NRA Concealed Carry Weapon Instructor, NRA Rifle Instructor, NRA Refuse to Be a Victim Instructor, NRA Range Safety Officer, USCCA Concealed Carry & Home Defense Instructor, National African American Gun Association (NAAGA) Basic Pistol and Concealed Carry Instructor, United 2A Collective (U2AC) Basic Pistol Instructor, SABRE Civilian Safey Awareness Program Instructor, American Red Cross First Aid and CPR/AED, and Stop the Bleed. When I'm not teaching I can be found serving my community through various organizations or mentoring boys and girls through the  Scouting America or eceiving additional tactical firearms training, or sharpening my personal firears skills by competing in International Defensive Pistal Association (IDPA) Competitions or being a mom to my three kids or doing something fun with my husband and business partner.
