Our Instructors

Joey Glover

If you think Joey is an Instructor simply because he is James Yeager's son-in-law then you don't know Joey OR James! He had to earn his spot just like everyone else, maybe even MORE than everyone else BECAUSE he is James.

Tim Morris

Tim "The Bandit" Morris was a U.S. Army Paratrooper his assignments included duty as an Infantry Squad Leader and Operations SGT for a rifle company in the 82nd Airborne. He also served as a Security SGT stationed in Korea.

Louis Caras

Louis Caras is a Yankee. Even though he grew up in the greater New York area we still kinda like him. Working on commercial fishing boats he realized after many close calls, including cutting a finger off and taking a "swim" in frigid waters, that safety and preparedness are paramount.
