| "As a hunter, you are the final judge as to whether your actions are right or wrong." Aldo Leopold. I did not start hunting until I was 22 years old. My hunting education came from friends and magazine articles, then applying that information to my time in the outdoors. I had some firearm safety training from the Police Academy. Attending an Illinois Hunter Education course with one of my older of six daughters at a Pistol & Rifle Club in 1991 helped me realize that I could be safer. When I took my son to a Hunter Education class a year later at our local Community Center, the class was being taught by one instructor, our mailman, not five men like the class I took my daughter to. I started helping him out when I could. At the end of the class, the Instructor looked at me and said "You seem to enjoy this so much, you should become an Instructor." And that is how I became a Volunteer Instructor for Illinois Department of Conservation in 1993. Moving to Texas, I began teaching for Texas Parks & Wildlife Department in 1995. Attained the rank of Volunteer Master Instructor after completing the Hunter Education Academy Instructor courses in one year. I hold NRA Instructor's certification in Home Firearm Safety, Personal Protection, Pistol, Rifle,& Shotgun and Muzzle Loading Pistol, Rifle & Shotgun, and Range Safety Officer. During the many years working for General Motors, I had the opportunity to be in their Training Department where I learned many teaching skills. My classes are interactive and have plenty of visual aids. I try to offer classes as often as my schedule will allow, especially in August, September and October for the fall and winter hunting season. Also before spring turkey season. Group classes can be arranged at least 30 days in advance. |
