About

Thank you for coming to my website. This site is dedicated to making it easier for you, the viewer, to find my videos, Patreon, or any other services and links that help to support my YouTube channel – RTT: Guns & Gear

Originally from the small town of Findlay, Ohio, I came from what I would call a fairly strict family with a lot of military background. My grandfather was a WWII bomber pilot for the Army Air Corps and my father was a Lieutenant in the Army.

I grew up going to a Catholic grade and junior high school and then went on to a Catholic high school. I started shooting guns when I was 8 years old at a range that is now closed to the public. By the time I was in my teens I was shooting in local competitions and being schooled in shooting and tactics by former military and SWAT guys.

When I turned 18 and graduated high school I went directly into the United States Navy. Unfortunately, I caught an honorable medical discharge before being able to complete my contract and have tried to find a way to fill the void ever since. To fill that void, I immersed myself in firearms training and tactics.

Of all the instructors I’ve had, some have included former infantry, Rangers, SF, SEALs, and contractors. I became a student of the game and grabbed on to as much knowledge as I could.

I now try to help people out the same way I was. But now it is through YouTube and individual and small classes that I run through my training school Southern Arizona Tactical.

There is a brief history about me, so won’t you come along with me for the rest of the ride…..

Thanks!!
