Thank you to Speaker Ken Campbell, CEO of Gunsite Academy

Thank you Ken Campell, CEO of Gunsite, the Academy that offers firearms training to elite military personnel, law enforcement officers and free citizens of the US.

From www.Gunsite.Com  "Sheriff (Ret.) Ken Campbell had over 35 years of experience at the Boone County Indiana Sheriff’s Office in Central Indiana when he retired in 2014. His duties have included: Special Response Team (SWAT) Team Commander, K-9 Handler, Crash Reconstructionist, Hazardous Materials Technician, Reserve Unit Commander, Shift Supervisor, Enforcement Division Captain, Firearms Instructor and Armorer, and two (2) terms as the elected Sheriff.  During his 35 years with the Sheriff’s Office he received two (2) Department Commendation Awards, the Department Medal of Valor and received the “Richard G. Brown Police Officer of the Year Award” by the local media on two (2) occasions.

Firearms training over the years included Remington, Glock, Colt, Smith and Wesson, H&K, and many others.  He is a Colt 1911 and AR Series, Glock and S&W Revolver and Auto-Pistol Armorer.

His Instructor Certifications included several Less-Lethal applications including Oleoresin of Capsicum (Pepper Spray), Sage International and Taser.

Ken has been teaching at Gunsite since 1992 in the Pistol, Carbine, Rifle and Shotgun courses   He was appointed Chief Operating Officer in 2014 and Chief Executive Officer in 2019."

Ken shared the history of Gunsite.  He explained the importance of preconditioning your mind to evade disaster by having a plan, being aware of your surroundings, and being ready to respond responsibly if necessary.

"Only an effective, safe and authoritative program of study can guarantee that in a moment of danger YOU will act to protect yourself, your loved ones or the ones you are sworn to with self defense firearms training skills."

Meeting Notes:

Written by Jane Anne Shimizu 

Guests included Elizabeth Mahoney, past District Governor and The Wheel Chair Representative Eric Friend from Cuernavaca Mexico.  Elizabeth expressed the importance of attending a meeting with Clent Walker, Sunup’s past President as the year they were working together as President and District Governor was the year of Covid and in person meetings were not happening.

Thought for the day by Jane Anne Shimizu:  "Make some plans, check  off your bucket list.  Go be what you want to be and embrace the riches of the world around you.  The only person who can decide how this story ends is you.  You are stronger than you will ever know. " Author Amber Zufelt "Chasing Butterflies."

 

Looking ahead:

Cruise In for Vets will take place May 14th. Prescott Mall near Texas Roadhouse 3310 Gateway Blvd, Prescott, AZ 86303 http://cruise4vets.com/
 
Did you miss the Career and Technical Education Center tour?  Stay tuned for another date coming soon.
