Our Instructors

Joshua Leach - Owner/Instructor

I started AlwaysOnDefesne after becoming a USCCA-certified instructor to continue to teach, lead, and inspire the next generation of shooters! I spent 8 years in the Army as a tanker, I was also trained as a unit-level armorer (trained to maintain and repair multiple weapons systems within the US Army). I received training as a squad-designated marksman as well as the combat pistol course, went on numerous combat deployments to the Middle East, and trained soldiers in the use and maintenance of several weapons platforms in various situational environments.
