Soul Sisters: How It All Began | Trish Reiss, Certified Firearms Instructor, Founder Montana Maggies
Living in upstate New York, Trish found a desperate need for education in firearms training after working as a pistol licensing clerk in her hometown.
She got involved locally and eventually created the first ever Women’s Concealed Carry Holster Fashion Show held in 2012 and 2014. In its second year, it drew media attention and over 400 spectators. Video here: https://youtu.be/ERtaVfimm9o?si=5ORy1eR1ki8j2M_V
After moving to Montana in 2016, she brought that same drive and heart to her work on the range, where she felt a specific calling to help people who she felt had “fallen through the cracks” in classes and need more patience and/or time to learn. She felt like “that girl” early in her training in New York and went on a mission to make sure no one gets left behind on her watch.
During that time is when Lora and Trish paths crossed. The story unfolds in the interview and a great friendship blossomed and grew over the years.
In this interview we talk about that story as well as working with special need clients, how Trish overcame adversity and what she does now to continue, in her 60s, to stay physically and mentally healthy. We’ll also learn about the development of a select group of women in southwest Montana, the Montana Maggies, why that group is so dear to us and how/why it was formed.
Trish has over 800 certificate hours of training from Sig Academy, Gunsite Academy, Gabby Franco, Kate Miculek, Adam Winch, Mike Seeklander, Dave Jenkins, Scott Jedlinski, Masad Ayoob, Andrew Branch and many others. She has multiple instructor certifications as well. She is also the Chapter Leader of the Armed Women of America in her area and the Founder of Montana Maggies.
She has contributed twice to the IDPA Tactical Journal. First in 2018 and then in 2020. You can view that article (and Lora’s photos) on page 6. https://www.idpa.com/tactical-journal-volume-24-issue-4-4th-quarter-2020/
She currently works at Montana Tactical Firearms in Three Forks, MT.

In 2009 he was awarded the National Grassroots Activist of the Year by the Second Amendment Foundation.

He has been featured on PBS and in The Wall Street Journal and has consulted in numerous federal and state criminal and civil cases as an expert witness and/or legal consultant.

Considerations for Carrying A Firearm At Work | Alex Sansone, The Suited Shootist
Alex Sansone took his first formal pistol class in 2009, and has since accumulated almost 500 total hours of open enrollment training from many of the nation's top instructors including Massad Ayoob, Craig Douglas, Tom Givens, Gabe White, Cecil Burch, Chuck Haggard, Darryl Bolke, and many others.
Spending his professional life in the corporate world, Alex quickly realized incongruities between "best practices" in the defensive world, and the practical realities of his professional and social limitations.
He founded The Suited Shootist in 2018 to address the overlooked social aspects of the armed lifestyle, focusing on what it’s like to be an armed professional, not professionally armed.

Developing Extreme Mental & Physical Grit | Christian Griffith, Extreme Athlete, Run 2 Heal Founder
Christian Griffith is an extreme athlete with extreme grit. As a survivor of child sexual abuse, he has made it his mission to be an advocate for children. In 2018, he ran 3,142 miles across the United States from NY to CA (30 miles a day for 5 months straight) to inspire those who have been abused to break their silence and to raise $1 million to prevent and treat child abuse.
Christian has completed over 100 races of marathon distance or farther, racing over volcanoes, across deserts and through infested swamps all over the world.
He’s earned his 50-mile bib at World's Toughest Mudder on CBS, took a beating on American Ninja Warrior on NBC, and survived Hell as a finisher on THE SELECTION: Special Operations Experiment, on History Channel. He has also successfully completed the Fuego Y Agua 100K Trail Ultramarathon in Nicaragua more times (3) than anyone else in the history of the race.
Christian is spreading the message of treatment for those who have been abused and says it’s the only way out. “Because nobody talks about it, I packaged up my own personal experiences of abuse, airtight and put them on a shelf high up and deep in my brains for over 30 years, just hoping ‘out of sight, out of mind.’” Treatment is the only way out.
Christian says that he wants to prove that your past does not have to be your future. “I’m not proud of who I have been in the past, but through my current relationships, EMDR therapy and a solid dedication to change, I have tuned things around. Am I perfect? Nope. But I will never stop trying.”
He says his experiences have taught him that you can always do more than you think you can and encourages other to never, ever quit. Not even when someone tell you that you are too old, too slow, not strong enough and not keeping up. He says “Go until the wheels fall off..and then you ride the axles. Never quit. Never.”
Christian’s accomplishments as an athlete:
2022 Qualified for Spartan DEKA World Championships, Atlantic City, NJ
2022 Earned Spartan DEKA Coaching Certification
2021 Earned StrongFirst SFL Instructor Certification
2021 Earned StrongFirst SFG I Instructor Certification, the gold standard for kettlebell strength training.
2021 Completed the Sea 2 Sea noted by Red Bull as one of the top 10 most difficult adventure races.
2018 Finished RUN2HEAL, 3,142 mile run across the United States from NY to CA.
2017 History Channel reality documentary series, The Selection: Special Operations Experiment.
2017 NBC American Ninja Warrior participant.

How Big Is Your Love? A Defenders LIVE Special with Adam Winch & Lora Thorson of Defenders USA
For many people, Valentine’s Day is a commercialized day representing romance and buying chocolates in heart-shaped boxes. But the kind of love we are going to talk about is not about romantic love at all and may not be a comfortable, fuzzy subject for all watching. However, it’s part of the mission behind Defenders USA and Defenders LIVE and we think it’s critical to understand and contemplate.
As defenders of our homes, our families and our hearts, we believe that love (not hate) should be rooted deeply in our everyday thoughts and actions. And should that dreadful day ever come that we are forced to defend ourselves or those we love, we have at least thought it through and understand that the reason we have chosen to be a defender is not because of hate, but all because of love.

So You Say You’re a Defender | Leveling Up On & Off The Range | Mike Davis MadeMan Coaching
Mike served over 14 years Active duty in the Navy.He was medically separated due to injuries from his service. After his hip surgery, he walked with a cane for over 14 years.
After that much time buying into all of the things the doctors told him he would never be able to do again, he had become an overweight, lazy, impatient, and (and in his words) a miserable man. He was on the verge of destroying his marriage and his relationships with his kids.
Then everything changed when, through working with a coach, he got his mindset, nutrition, and daily habits right. He built systems to ensure long-term success, lost 60 pounds, and ditched the cane. He also worked on his relationships in his life and now has a better marriage than ever before.
He has used that experience, combined with his 20 years of training in leadership and personal development, to build a program to help other men bridge the gap between the man they see in the mirror and the man they know they want to be.

The Truth About Domestic Violence with Lisa Stiers, PacWest Defense
Lisa grew up with firearms, having shot her first gun at age 5, with her dad’s help. Lisa purchased a gun for self-defense at age 25, after being in an abusive relationship. She eventually let her permit expire. In 2010, after multiple close call situations while living in the Portland area, Lisa decided to purchase a handgun again, for personal protection and everyday carry. She began regular training with her firearm and eventually came across a ladies-only group that she began shooting with. After shooting for a few years, Lisa began teaching friends how to shoot. Lisa quickly realized she had a knack for working with people and a passion for helping others learn to protect themselves. She decided to focus her energy on teaching other civilians how to defend themselves.
In 2018, Lisa established her company, Pacwest Defense Firearms Training. That year she also began working part-time as a range safety officer and instructor at a local gun club, actively teaching with the club’s practical application team. She helps teach a new member evaluation class that focuses on marksmanship and safety, as well as Handgun Fundamentals, Action Shooting Fundamentals, Action Range Certification classes, Concealed Handgun Classes, and more. In 2019 Lisa began volunteering her time as a co-leader with another female instructor for her local ladies-only shooting group.
In May 2020, Lisa began working full-time as the Chief Range Safety Officer at the same gun club. She now manages a team of 20 RSO's and has brought multiple women onto that team. In addition to this, Lisa has continued teaching, while also expanding her knowledge and skills as a shooter and instructor.
In 2021 Lisa became a Chapter Facilitator for A Girl & a Gun where she hosts sessions in Sherwood, OR. In her spare time, Lisa enjoys shooting at local competitions, focusing primarily on Speed Steel and IDPA.

Practical Strategies in the Pursuit of Excellence | 2X World Champion Shooter, Kyle Schmidt
Practical Strategies in the Pursuit of Excellence | 2X World Champion Shooter, Kyle Schmidt
Kyle Schmidt is a retired police officer of over 24 years with the Tempe AZ Police Department. There he served as patrol officer, computer forensics detective, recruit training officer, patrol sergeant and in addition served 7 years as a member of the SWAT team. During his final 15 years of service, he was the primary firearms instructor in rifle, pistol and shotgun for the department.
In 1999, Kyle began shooting competitively at a local police competition and was highly encouraged by the department instructors to continue. Although he did not place very well in that first match, he was hooked and his interest/obsession with competitive shooting was born.
Fortunately, living in Arizona, Kyle had access to one of the most active competitive shooting facilities in the world, The Rio Salado Sportsman’s Club. Not a week goes by without numerous types of competitive shooting events taking place. In fact, during most months there are no less than 10 organized competitive shooting matches, and that is just practical pistol alone. During Kyle’s competitive shooting experience, he has participated in several different competitive shooting disciplines including:
USPSA, IDPA, NRA Action Pistol, NRA PPC, USPSA Multigun, and NRA Bullseye
During his 25 year career, Kyle has earned multiple National Championships as well as competing Internationally with Rob Leatham on Team USA in the World Action Pistol Championship in Germany in 2012, where his team earned a Gold Medal.
Kyle also enjoys other sports such as trail running and is currently training to compete in a half marathon. Constantly pursuing excellence in his life personally and professionally, Kyle believes that whatever a person pursues in life… embracing responsibility for our own actions and holding ourselves accountable is key.

Team Tactics for Living A Better Life | LEO Wife & Sniper Husband, JT & Tonya Grover of Rev-Tac
Team Tactics for Living A Better Life | LEO Wife & Sniper Husband, JT & Tonya Grover of Rev-Tac
JT started Rev-Tac in 2010 as a part-time passion for preparing both the public and his peers for surviving critical incidents. His 20+ year service to this country has provided real-world experience that translates into success on life's battlefields.
As a successful career sniper, JT is currently leading multiple sniper teams for an Airborne Infantry Unit. He has been his sniper team's medic for many years as well as a paid city firefighter/medic for 11 years. JT has multiple deployments in support of the global war on terror, as well as supporting continental US missions from floods to riots. He dabbled in law-enforcement for a few years before realizing that wasn't the direction he wanted to go but remains passionate about preparing this country's law enforcement for success under extreme pressure.
His dedication to his craft lead him to instruct at one of the US Army's premiere sniper schools for a few years before taking Rev-Tac full-time in 2015. JT loves teaching long-range precision, carbine classes and defensive pistol.
Tonya currently works in Federal Law Enforcement and spends her off-time teaching at Rev-Tac. She has worked in juvenile detention, adult prisons and adult probation. She has studied firearms, verbal judo, and has been training in firearms for many years. Tonya is a USCCA and NRA certified instructor but is our expert in our De-Escalation Courses and Personal Defense Courses for women.
