Norman
Norman spent 10 years Active and 5 years in the Inactive Ready Reserve in the United States Navy in a myriad of special operations units. When he worked in those units, he became an impeccable marksman, shooting with accurate, lethal results, and tactical effectiveness.
Norm has trained tactical applications of shooting to people of all levels of marksmanship for FREE!, from varsity level to include Active and Reserve U.S. Military Service Members, Veterans, California Deputies and Los Angeles Police Officers who work the streets as well as Civilians with good intentions but with little to no time behind the trigger.
His military experience quickly taught him that there is more to tactical marksmanship than merely squeezing the trigger. Utilizing his years of experience, Norman developed a training methodology and mentorship program that is safe, effective, and combat relevant that encourages a continuous thought process avoiding the “flat-range mentality”. This methodology teaches how to maintain safety at all times under stress allowing the shooter to think and stay away from the typical “institutionalism” that nowadays is promoted. The courses cover several categories in regards to firearms safety that include individual, collective, and online safety standards.
While serving on foreign deployments during Operation Enduring Freedom (OEF) and Operation Iraqi Freedom (OIF), he brought the idea to help his community and spread the knowledge acquired overseas. In his own words, “It’d be considered “Selfish” on my part if the knowledge learnt is not shared to those with good intentions and law enforcers. Life-saving skills shall be taught for FREE and not milk the Navy Warfare Insignia”
He joined the U.S. Navy with the rank “E-0” and separated from Active Duty in 2013 as an 03 after 10 years.
