A word from Alan . . .

“I take firearms safety VERY SERIOUSLY and have a passion to pass on my knowledge to others to make sure they stay safe around firearms! I also have a passion for providing the highest level of healthcare in my professional life and love to help others to be prepared and knowledgeable when an emergency arises. I love to teach and love a good challenge. I most definitely do not know everything there is to know about the law, shooting, and healthcare, but pride myself in being well prepared for all the classes I teach. I am always willing to do some research to answer a question I don’t know the answer to. . . I honestly feel that I have the best Job in the world”
