Lead Instructor

Kevin Sadeski - NRA Certified Instructor

Kevin Sadeski Armed2Defend pistol competition

Armed2Defend's lead instructor is Kevin Sadeski. His National Rifle Association (NRA) Instructor credentials can be verified at the NRA website. His NRA ID is 176644351 and zip code is 43110. https://nra.org/training/instructorlogin.aspx.

Kevin Sadeski grew up on a small farm in Canal Winchester Ohio. He graduated from OSU in Columbus Ohio with a bachelors degree in biology and a masters degree in education. He is currently a biotechnology researcher at a large institute in Columbus Ohio.

When he was in middle school, he and his brother were robbed at gun point while leaving a local mall. Luckily neither of them were hurt in the incident, but it wasn't until several minutes after the robbers were long gone before the police arrived. This incident just goes to prove the saying, "when seconds count, help is only minutes away". Kevin believes that everyone should take responsibility for their own personal safety through proper planning, training, awareness and response.

Kevin formed Armed2Defend LLC in order to train other responsible citizens to be able to take a stand for their protection. His hope is that the next time his life is threatened at gun point, he won't be the only one in the crowd fighting back. He insures this hope by offering the training at the most reasonable price available.
