From Tracie’s own personal experience she has learned the importance
of being aware of her surroundings. The learning process about personal
protection, and instruction in the use of firearms has been the incentive
she needed to restore confidence and strength back into her own life.
Her journey and determination to learn about self-defense, awareness,
and firearms training has created a passion and lead her to becoming a
certified firearms instructor and personal protection coach.

Tracie is committed to helping all people realize that their 2nd
Amendment Right gives them the right to defend themselves. She
teaches the importance of self awareness and personal security by
being aware of your surroundings at all times. She provides instruction
for those that don’t want to be the next “easy” victim. The highest
percentage of crimes are prevented from just being aware of our surroundings.
Tracie realizes that not all people are comfortable around firearms, thus
her instruction in SELF-AWARENESS is a key step in keeping you and your
loved ones safe. She also teaches the use of firearms and as a last resort,
when there are no other options.

Tracie’s goal is to help educate, empower and equip women and (men) that
wish to become confident and competent in their ability to protect
themselves and their loved ones by providing instruction in a safe and
encouraging environment. Those that no longer wish to suffer from the
fear of guns can be encouraged and instructed from someone that trembled
and cried just from the sight of a firearm.

Her exceptional communication skills in the classroom as well as on the
training range provides meaningful feedback to novice and advanced shooters alike.
