Brian T. Pace

Former Marine & Private Security Contractor

An intelligence analyst by trade; Brian’s career in the military was anything but the traditional Intel analyst’s experience. A Marine combat veteran with four tours spanning from conducting tactical level riverine operations along the Euphrates River, partnering with Marine Recon, SEALs, and 5th Special Forces Group, and MOUT operations in Fallujah, to unconventional warfare in the mountains of Afghanistan as a security contractor embedded with 3rd Special Forces Group, Brian enthusiastically and passionately brings two decades worth of firearms training and real-world combat use to his courses. He believes that the more prepared an individual citizen is, the stronger our nation is as a whole, and seeks to continue his oath to our Constitution through service to his fellow Americans.
