More about Teri
Teri grew up in a small town in Kansas where she didn’t give her personal safety much thought. She relied on her Dad and 2 big brothers to keep her safe. She moved to Tucson, AZ in 1987 after winning the AAU Bodybuilding Miss Universe title, where she met her husband. Following a traditional path, Teri married and had two children, now teenage boys, Sean and Patrick. They travel to their ranch in South Dakota in the summers, where they work on the family farm. “Family time, hard work and conservation is a big part of the legacy I want to share with my boys.”
Teri’s life took a detour when she found herself a victim of a home invasion and assault. This is when Teri decided to do everything she could to never find herself unprepared and in a similar situation again. She has earned certifications in personal safety instruction as well as being a certified firearms instructor. Additionally, she is a nationally recognized competitive shooter and spokeswoman for Refuse to Be a Victim. In the process of educating and training herself, she realized the need for women instructors, so her personal safety and pistol classes are for women and taught by women – because women really do learn differently than men. Today, Teri is fully committed to training her students to be confident self-protectors and to never find themselves in a situation for which they are not prepared.
