Chris is the newest addition to The Complete Combatants coaching team. A recent transplant to Georgia from the Pacific Northwest with his wife of 20 years and his 18-year-old son. He comes to us with a unique background of a full career in professional corporate leadership and team development experience coupled with a long history of passion for the defensive and protective arts as both a student and instructor. His style is student focused and he has an aptitude for diagnosing the mental and physical hurdles defensive athletes face as they pursue high skill. He has been a professional credentialed instructor for over 20 years with ongoing education that calculates into 100’s of hours annually in his personal pursuit to be the best armed citizen and guide to learners he can be. Chris’s focus is from the armed citizen perspective but is also a firm believer in seeking out and achieving the highest levels of performance related to his craft. Analyzing and adopting performance metrics of high-level competitive shooters and believing that those levels of skill are achievable for the committed practitioner of concealed carry. He has a drive for improvement that is infectious and shares this freely with everyone he trains with. He is active with his student base both remote and in person, active as a trusted assistant instructor with multiple national level trainers as well as a presenter and instructor at some national level conferences. He is a welcome addition to the team and is excited to provide value to The Complete Combatant patrons.
