Hi, I'm Patrick Jones, a 28 year, retired Navy Seabee veteran and experienced Combat Instructor based in Las Vegas, Nevada. Passionate about building stronger families and safer environments—one skill, one plan, and one mission at a time. Protecting my family is my number one goal.
During my service with the Naval Mobile Construction Battalions, while also serving as a Combat Instructor, I delivered intensive firearms training programs, tactical combat skills courses, and weapons handling instruction for service members. My expertise in marksmanship, defensive tactics, and team readiness has sharpened my ability to solve complex problems, and mentor others to peak performance.
Now in the Southwest, I continue applying these high-stakes skills to home security consulting, training initiatives, and community safety programs.
Every class begins and ends with safe handling principles.
Certified, experienced, and passionate instructors.
All backgrounds, ages, and skill levels welcome.
Invested in building a safer, more prepared community.
