Additional Information:
Tom has been shooting since he was a small child after being introduced to it by his father and uncle. Under their direction and supervision, he learned the fundamentals of shooting and most importantly gun safety. To increase his knowledge, Tom sought more advanced formal training through Robert "Chet" Wilson (Shoot NJ/Shoot PA) and Ted Simpson (Advanced Combative Systems) of the Second Amendment Firearms Training & Education Association (SAFTEA). Tom continues to train in more advanced classes with these two instructors and owes a huge debt of gratitude to both men. As an instructor and life-long student, Tom looks to train with other industry leaders as well. Over the past year, he has begun extensive advanced training with Readiness Training Group (RTG).
