Instructors

Ryan started as a paratrooper with the 82nd Airborne Division and later served as a sergeant in a combat engineer battalion, including two combat deployments to Afghanistan. In law enforcement he has served as a police officer, chief of police, and deputy sheriff, and he has trained officers at multiple agencies.

He has been a law enforcement firearms instructor since 2017, from basic weapons handling through advanced work, for current and retired officers. The classes cover safe and effective use of firearms for personal defense, and home protection from a law enforcement point of view.

Ready American started from a 2018 idea: one-on-one and small-group training in firearms safety, use, and ways to detect, deter, and defend against crime. The preference is to travel to the student when a safe range is available, instead of making everyone come to one town.

Robb has been a licensed police officer since June 1997. He became an NRA pistol and shotgun instructor in April 2001 and taught use of force, pistol, and shotgun to new officers, plus yearly requalification. He trained as a Glock armorer and implemented patrol-rifle purchase and deployment for his department.

His case work includes thefts, burglaries, sexual assaults, and assisting the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension on a double homicide. In the fall of 2023, Ryan asked him to instruct for Ready American. He agreed, and he is here to put that experience to work on your firearm knowledge.
