Entrepreneur. Licensed Firearms Instructor. USPSA Competitor. Born in the County of Kings. Building an empire from Dallas, TX.
Raised in Brooklyn. Based in Dallas since 2003. The journey between those two points has run through more industries than most people touch in a lifetime — retail, healthcare, finance, barbering, insurance, mortgage, and now firearms training and entrepreneurship.
The through line in all of it? I figure things out. I don't wait for permission and I don't make excuses. I pick up what's needed, I learn it, and I get it done. That's not a skill set — that's Brooklyn. That's the mindset.
Brooklyn Zo Defense. Jackson Venture Group. More coming. All of it built on the same foundation — know your craft, own your platform, and never stop building.
Carrying a firearm is a responsibility. Brooklyn Zo Defense exists to make sure you carry with knowledge, confidence, and the legal foundation to back every decision you make.
Constitutional carry lets you carry. It doesn't tell you where you can't, when you can legally pull the trigger, or what happens to your life after you do. That's what training is for.
What you do in the three seconds after matters as much as the three seconds before. Police response. Civil liability. What you say and don't say. These aren't details — they're the difference.
Your gun is only as secure as your weakest moment of awareness. Every environment. Every person with access. 24 hours a day. That's the standard we teach.
A card in your wallet means nothing without the knowledge behind it. Training with Brooklyn Zo Defense means you carry with the law, not in spite of it.
The flagship course. State-approved. 4–6 hours of classroom instruction covering Texas law, use of force, safe handling, and live-fire proficiency. Built from the ground up with Brooklyn Zo Defense branding and curriculum.
The toolbelt doesn't stop at the LTC. Additional courses through USCCA and NRA certifications are in the pipeline — each one designed to build on the last.
Brooklyn Zo gear built for people who move different. T-shirts, hoodies, coffee mugs and more. Drop your email — you'll be first to know when it drops.
Two pages. One person. All Brooklyn.
