Meet the Instructor
A Beaufort Original
John Whiteis a Beaufort, SC local with over 20 years of firearms experience and a passion for educating others. At seven years old, John's father — a 27-year USMC veteran — took him to family day on Parris Island and let him shoot at the range. The adrenaline of the recoil against his shoulder and the rounds connecting with targets ignited a passion that would last a lifetime.
Since then, John has carried that passion from a military rod & gun club overseas to international competition, earned armorer and instructor certifications, and founded Geechie Gunner LLC. From nervous first-timers to seasoned owners chasing a tighter group, the standard never changes: train hard, handle safe, carry proud.
