Shawn Visintin - Chief Instructor
My name is Shawn Visintin. I was raised in southwestern Montana and now live in Superior with my wonderful wife, 6-year-old boy, and we eagerly await another addition to our family in January. My background consists of a decade spent as a Lifestyle Coach and Personal Trainer, becoming the youngest NASM Master Trainer in the world in 2013. During that time, I was also involved in private security and private investigations. Most recently I have had the privilege to serve as a Montana Deputy Sheriff for the last two years. I have spent about seven years now instructing firearms and personal protection principles and techniques. I am emphatic about individuals taking responsibility for their own personal safety. I continually push myself and my instructors to an endless pursuit of growth in numerous fields, to include coaching ability, shooting skill, testing and evaluation of related products, and how to “fast-track” our students to an expertise level in these fields. I currently teach for numerous national training organizations, to include the USCCA, Legal Heat, and the NRA. I believe my unique experience brings great value and opportunity to the hundreds of students I have taught and continue to teach across Montana. It would be my privilege and pleasure to have you join our next training opportunity!

​Jacob Martin - Instructor
My name is Jacob Martin. I was born in the small town of Luray Virginia; my family made the move to Missoula in 2012. Happily married to my high school sweetheart, I work as a plumber during the week while my wife Emily volunteers at the local Christian school. We love to get out and spend time with our family/ friends, get out and shoot, and invest in the Lords Church with our local Missoula congregation. My passion for firearms and their relation to self-defense, began when I was a junior in high school. I began to recognize and be more keenly aware of the dangers we can come across in our daily lives. Whether it's just me, or if I'm out for a walk with my beautiful wife, or just out running errands, I want to be able to protect myself and those who may be unable to defend themselves. I love getting out and hitting the range and training with others. Recently selected as a firearms instructor for Liberty Firearms, I look forward to teaching others the skills and mindset necessary to protect themselves and the ones they love.

Nate Morrison - Deputy Chief Instructor
​
My name is Nate Morrison. I grew up in northern New England in farming, logging, and construction. I spent over 20 years in special operations and related fields. I have been an instructor, evaluator, and subject matter expert in special operations, the conventional Army, and the civilian world. I was the founder of the USAF Pararescue Combatives Program and co-founder of the AFSOC Human Performance Program. I am also a multi-sport coach and human performance expert. Currently I’m a construction superintendent in the energy industry who simply cannot let go of his lifelong passion for military science. I am pleased to offer my services teaching weapons & tactics, tactical/wilderness medicine, survival, military combatives, and more to my local communities in Montana and Northern New England. It is my sincere belief that it’s best to have a wide variety of combat and survival skills and never need them, than to desperately need them and not have them. I also want to make it clear that while I have trained special operations units, SWAT teams, security contractors, law enforcement officers, and many others; I firmly believe with all my heart, that the average American citizen is the most important person I will ever train.

"I was previously going to buy my wife a gun and was advised by Shawn not to until after taking the course with my wife. During the course, we shot the gun I was going to buy her and she hated it to the point where she didn't want to shoot any more. But shawn and the other instructors were very patient and showed my wife several guns until they found the perfect one for her. We both found the course very informational and believe that everyone who owns a gun or is thinking about buying one should take this course, even if they think they know how to shoot. Well worth the money. Thank you all for an amazing Saturday afternoon."
