Letter from CEO, Ben Anderson
“It is imperative to always be a student first, and instructor second. I have firsthand experience attending courses that have dogmatic, out of date, and ego driven training. What worked in a warzone may not be the answer locally, and visa versa, but we won’t know until we pressure test it and honestly evaluate the results. Thanks to many great instructors throughout the industry, I have been able to overcome the tactically dynamic crawl, walk, run methodology of training, and embrace a logical analysis of performance. Simply put, shooting is shooting, and being cool is not that cool.”
– Ben Anderson, Owner & Firearms Instructor

A US Army 82nd Airborne Reconnaissance Infantryman, and Operation Iraqi Freedom veteran (2008-2009), I also spend as much time as possible outside hunting and fishing. Having countless hours training with multiple weapon platforms from crew served weapons to pistols, and having trained military, law enforcement, and civilians. We are constantly updating our training curriculum, making Diamondback an ideal training environment for individuals from every walk of life.
