My name is Greg Wynot, and I am a native Floridian. Currently, I reside in two Florida locations, beautiful Apalachicola (in the panhandle) and Jacksonville Beach.
I have been working in the firearms industry since 2008 as an NRA Instructor, Appointed NRA Training Counselor, NRA Refuse to be a Victim Regional Counselor, and Trainer Chief Range Safety Officer. My work has primarily been in the Southeast United States conducting instructor and range safety officer courses for our military, state agencies, law enforcement, and civilians covering every conceivable topic relating to firearms and the firearms industry. In addition, I serve as a Range Developer and Engineer for creating new shooting facilities, compose Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) for facilities, and testify in court cases as a “Expert Witness.”
Currently, I am a faculty member for SDI (Since 2020), Gulf Coast State College (Since 2013), and serve the National Rifle Association as the State NRA Training Counselor Liaison (State of Florida). When not serving in one of these capacities, I also work as the Chief Training Counselor of Wynot Defend Yourself, LLC, a training company that serves the public in providing NRA Basic and Instructor level courses. I hold multiple graduate degrees focusing on Professional Counseling Psychology and Orthodox Theology and have published works on not only firearm related topics but also grief and bereavement.
But who is Greg? I am a husband to my beautiful wife Callie, a father to our six children, an avid Scouts BSA leader (Eagle Scout, and now Committee Chairman of my sons’ troop), Freemason & Shriner (Past District Deputy Grand Master and current secretary of my Lodge), an enthusiast of concerts and sporting events (especially FSU, LA Lakers, Chicago Bears, and the Tampa Bay Lightning). I enjoy spending any time at the beach that I can! Lastly, I am a competitive shooter that enjoys competing in NRA Action Pistol, Police Pistol Combat, Bullseye/Conventional Pistol, USPSA, GSSF matches, as well as serving as a Range Officer for these events.
