Tim was one of the very first people I met when I moved to Tennessee. At the time, we both were teaching the Tennessee handgun carry classes at the same range. Tim is the Founder of LFX Firearms Training specializing in defensive firearms training. Tim also appeared with Chris Cerino of the History Channel's Top Shot and Gun Talk's Tom Gresham in First Person Defender, a television show by Gun Talk Media. You can watch his episode on YouTube. In 2017, Tim accepted an apprenticeship from Tiger McKee at Shootrite Firearms Academy. Tiger is a lifelong student of personal combat and is one of the nation's top firearms instructors for armed citizens, law enforcement, military, and security personnel. As well as being a competitive shooter, Tim has certifications as an instructor from the NRA, the state of Tennessee as well as certifications in high angle rescue, confined space rescue, and hazardous material emergency. I highly recommend if you're ever in the East Tennessee area to take a class with him on his private range.
