Founder & Lead Instructor – Gatekeeper Defense Training

 

Adam S. is the founder and lead instructor of Gatekeeper Defense Training, providing practical, real-world firearms training for responsible citizens in Central Florida. Based in Orlando, Adam specializes in concealed carry, home defense, and personal protection for everyday men and women who take the responsibility of self-defense seriously.

As a USCCA-Certified Firearms Instructor, Adam is also certified in Countering the Mass Shooter Threat, with a particular focus on training church safety teams, families, and individuals to think clearly, act decisively, and operate safely under stress.

Adam is not former military or law enforcement. He is a protector—just like his students. His instruction is built around the reality that most armed citizens are ordinary people with extraordinary responsibility. His goal is to develop safe, competent, and confident defenders through structured training that emphasizes sound judgment, accountability, and practical skill.

Training is conducted at a private outdoor facility, allowing students to work beyond the constraints of a traditional indoor range. This environment supports:

• Movement-based shooting

• Engagement from unconventional positions (seated, kneeling, prone, and grounded)

• Realistic defensive scenarios rooted in real-world encounters

Every course is run with a strong emphasis on safety, clarity, and purposeful repetition. Students of all experience levels—from first-time gun owners to seasoned concealed carriers and church security volunteers—receive instruction focused on situational awareness, defensive decision-making, and practical application.

Training Locations: Greater Orlando, Leesburg, Clermont, Howie in the Hills, Sarasota, Kissimee
