Meet Robin
Robin founded Gun Kraft with a simple philosophy: the student comes first. His goal is to help students build knowledge, confidence, and practical firearms skills through professional instruction and hands-on training.
Robin has spent the last twenty years working for a local law enforcement agency, where he serves as a firearms and use of force instructor. Even as a firearm instructor, Robin continues to attend classes to increase his proficiency and stay current on the latest training advances.
His teaching approach focuses on helping students understand the "why" behind the "how." Rather than simply teaching procedures, students learn the principles that allow them to make informed decisions and develop skills that fit their individual needs and goals.
