Ryan- Training Coordinator
Ryan recently medically retired after serving as Police Officer for 13 years at a suburb city in Los Angeles County. During his tenure, he worked his first 5 years in patrol and then spent the rest of his career in Special Investigations on a small team (Crime Suppression Unit) comprised entirely of plain clothes SWAT Officers whose primary duty was to surreptitiously apprehend armed and/or violent fugitives.
As a member of his SWAT Team, Ryan was assigned as a sniper. He developed and brought many modern changes to his sniper cadre which included progressive TTP's and outfitting his team with new optics and ammunition. Another one of his duties was to facilitate and instruct a variety of tactical modalities, as well as lead training within his team and other SWAT and Patrol Teams throughout the Southern California area. Ryan also has instructed the range staff at Mission Ridge Range and Academy in San Antonio, Texas and helped them develop their own Precision Rifle Program at their academy.
After retirement, Ryan has found himself eager to share his knowledge, experience, mistakes, and lessons learned to those who are still serving so they can have the mindset, confidence, and skills to go home at the end of their day. More specifically, Ryan's end goal is to bridge the training gap between tactical teams and patrol through his art of teaching and networking with other like-minded professionals. He is still active with CA POST certifications (AICC), training as a student with other professionals, and maintains his memberships in the National Tactical Officers Association, California Association of Tactical Officers and American Sniper Association.
