Target Up Training, LLC

Thank you for checking out the Target Up page. Here is a little about me and my experience with firearms training. I began my adventures into firearms when I enlisted into the Army National Guard in 2007. I enlisted as an infantryman and went to basic training in Fort Benning Georgia. I became very familiar with many types of firearms very quickly. After my deployment to Iraq, I joined the Sniper Section of the 2-113th INF. In 2012 I attended Sniper School at Camp Robinson. I finished out my time in the military as a Sniper Team Leader. I began teaching firearms on the civilian side in 2014 after becoming certified through the NRA as an instructor in Basic Pistol, Basic Rifle, Basic Shotgun, and Personal Defense Inside the Home.

​

I am currently employed as a law enforcement officer and am certified as a firearms instructor, defensive tactics instructor, and general instructor. I have also served on the Emergency Response Team since 2020.

​

Firearms training has been a passion of mine for a long time and I am grateful that I get to share this passion with so many incredible people. I look forward to training with you!
