Steve came to sniper school already a Staff NCO with a tour as an instructor at BRC under his belt. Phil called it "a level of humility that was absolutely phenomenal." No bravado, no attitude about being the senior guy in the class. Just a student focused on getting better.
On qualification day three, Steve was spotting for six shooters at once, managing both the shooter and spotter for multiple pairs simultaneously. His class had Navy SEALs in it, and Steve was the one keeping everyone on target. Phil dubbed him "High Spotter" of class Two TAC 15. "He's the reason that half the class passed known distance."
A California boy through and through, Steve's a hunter first and a firefighter by trade. Coyote hunting is his thing. He's not chasing competition podiums or match points. He'd rather be glassing a hillside at dawn than running a stage on the clock. That focus shows in how he teaches: patient, thorough, and practical.
He's a believer in the 6.5 Creedmoor and builds his training around real-world shooting applications. If you're a hunter looking to extend your effective range or a precision shooter who wants fundamentals without the competition pressure, Steve speaks your language.

Hunter's Perspective
Steve teaches the way he hunts: slow down, read your conditions, and make the first round count. You won't burn through drills for speed. You'll build the wind-reading habits and positional shooting skills that actually matter when there's no second chance at the shot.
