She/ Her

Owner, CEO & Certified Firearms Instructor

Mikenzie is a retired Police Officer, P.O.S.T  Certified Handgun and Rifle Instructor, Certified Red Dot Precision Shooter, and holds a Basic Operator SWAT School (BOSS) Certification. 

Mikenzie's passion for civil service led her to becoming a Police Officer in Northern Colorado. Mikenzie spent her time as an Officer serving and connecting with the people in her community. During her time as a Patrol Officer, she held several other duties including Firearms Instructor, Defensive Tactics Instructor, K9 Decoy, and Field Training Officer. After years of departmental instruction, Mikenzie quickly realized she enjoyed teaching and spent much of her time training other Officers. 

Mikenzie found she particularly loved tactical training, spending most of her spare time at the shooting range and seeking out additional tactical trainings to hone her skills. Mikenzie attended Basic Operator SWAT School (BOSS) in 2021 and was chosen as the top student of her class by her instructors. 

Mikenzie continued her own training through her career and pursued competitive shooting. She competed in The Tactical Games in May of 2023 and won first place of her division. Two weeks later she suffered a career changing injury at work, which ultimately led to her leaving her agency in August 2024.  

Mikenzie is now an Instructor at a Law Enforcement Academy in Northern Colorado.  She lives with her husband, who is also a Police Officer in the area, and their three rescue cats Rabbit, Ella and Ghibli. 

Mikenzie will be attaining her Conceal Carry Instructor Certification through USCCA in January 2025 and her Red Dot Instructor Certification in February 2025.
