MEET YOUR TEACHERS

Retired after nearly 3 decades as a high school teacher, Tess understands that not all students learn the same way or at the same pace. She brings patience and understanding to every session and every student. Tess is a Texas DPS Certified License to Carry Instructor,  Rangemaster Certified Instructor, NRA Certified Pistol Instructor, USCCA Concealed Carry and Home Defense Fundamentals Certified Instructor, A Girl & A Gun Certified Trainer, OC Spray Instructor, and an NRA Certified Range Safety Officer.  Tess is also the chapter facilitator for the Katy, TX and Houston Galleria chapters of A Girl and a Gun. 

Working in the firearms industry since 2004, Mike brings encyclopedic technical knowledge to the table. Mike is passionate about seeing students improve and reach their goals-- no matter what guns and gear they are using. Mike, a former lawyer, brings to the table a working knowledge of how the law works. In addition, he is a Rangemaster Certified Instructor, a former gunsmith with extensive experience with a myriad of firearms, and the current head of the optics division for Gideon Optics.
