Extended P&S Network

The Extended P&S Network is an active Primary & Secondary resource created to recognize the people who have positively influenced, supported, contributed to, or helped shape P&S over the years. It includes friends, instructors, military and law-enforcement professionals, industry leaders, writers, trainers, makers, subject-matter experts, and other members of the broader firearms training and professional community.

Some individuals in the Extended P&S Network contributed directly to Primary & Secondary through articles, podcasts, training, events, discussions, mentorship, or behind-the-scenes support. Others helped inspire a direction, introduced useful ideas, set an example, or played a meaningful role in the wider community connected to P&S. A few have not participated directly, several have passed away, and there are people with whom I no longer have regular contact. Every person included, however, helped in some way. I believe in being fair and giving credit where it is due.

Primary & Secondary is largely a one-man effort focused on gathering, organizing, and sharing useful resources for the end user. In many ways, it reflects my own professional and personal journey: the people I have met, the lessons I have learned, the work I have noticed, and the relationships that have shaped my understanding of the community. This directory is one way to pay that forward and to preserve a record of the people who have mattered along the way.

The Extended P&S Network is not intended to be a complete list, and it never truly will be. Both Primary & Secondary and the people connected to it continue to grow and change. New names, updated professional roles, and additional context will be added as appropriate. A small number of people are intentionally omitted at their request, and that preference is respected.

My hope is that this network serves as more than a thank-you. It should also help visitors discover knowledgeable people, useful organizations, trusted resources, and the larger community that has helped make Primary & Secondary what it is today.
