About The Instructor
Travis Sparr
I have carried firearms for 20 years. I am a combat veteran, a former contractor for a federal police agency, and a lifelong shooter. I have participated in over 200 direct action raids, trained foreign military forces, taught thousands of people how to shoot, and now run my own training company. I absolutely love what I do, and have a huge passion for training normal, everyday people how to defend themselves against the evils we face today. I'm married with two boys, a dog, two cats, and a bunch of chickens. I like to fix cars, build things, and hang out with my family in my spare time. I train regularly, and stay current with relevant information so I can pass it on to my students.
