Meet the instructor

Andrew Amador

I am an Army veteran with a passion for training others. My credentials include instructor certifications through NRA and USCCA for pistol, rifle, concealed carry and home defense fundamentals. I am also a certified range safety officer.

I’ve been privileged to coach over 1,000 students throughout my military career and as a firearm instructor. My students have ranged from military, law enforcement, security and civilians.

My goal is to show every single one of my students that they have the choice to live with more ease, impact, joy, and freedom and stop going through life with an uncertain state of mind.

Knowledge, confidence and proficiency with your firearm is only half the battle, assessing situations and learning to avoid is most critical. I will ensure you learn how to do both as it is better to have a plan and not need it, than to need it and not have it.
