Instructor and Training Director – Jeff Hagen

Jeff first used a firearm at the age of 6 in the cold winter of the Wisconsin Dells. That first experience with a single shot rifle has lead to a lifelong interest in firearms.

Jeff has been teaching as a volunteer with Bayprofs starting in 2009 and has been active every year since. Jeff has assisted many thousands of both basic students and new instructors along their paths to safer firearms ownership and higher quality education. 

He is a NRA Certified Training Counselor and is able to teach both student level and instructor level courses in NRA Pistol, Rifle, Shotgun, Muzzleloading, Personal Protection Inside the Home, Personal Protection Outside the Home, NRA CCW, Metallic Cartridge Reloading, Shotgun Shell Reloading, Home Firearms Safety, and both the NRA Range Safety Officer and Chief Range Safety Officer programs. Jeff is certified as a Regional Counselor for the NRA’s Refuse to Be a Victim program.

He is a Concealed Carry and Home Defense Certified USCCA Firearms Instructor.

He is also certified by the State of California as a POST (Commission on Peace Officer Standards and Training) Firearms and Red Dot instructor, a Department of Justice Firearms instructor, a Department of Justice CCW Program Instructor, and a Department of Fish and Wildlife Hunter’s Education instructor. 

He is also certified to teach Utah BCI’s Concealed Firearms Permit classes.

He is a student graduate of multiple classes at Gunsite, Massad Ayoob’s MAG, Bruce Grey’s OpSpec Training, Gunsite, Front Sight, and others.

When he is not participating in the paycheck continuation plan, Jeff volunteers with Bayprofs, and is currently acting as our Training Director.
