Who We Are
Forging the Modern Protector
Aegis Meridian Group exists to forge the modern protector through the mastery of defense and the preservation of life. Aegis (pronounced ee-jis) was the shield of Zeus and Athena in Greek mythology — a symbol of protection. We believe the ultimate guardian is one who stands at the Meridian — the thin line between order and chaos — equipped with the skill to respond to a threat and the medical expertise to save the fallen. Guided by that legacy, we teach civilians concealed carry, situational awareness, and the practical skills needed to become a capable protector of family and community.

Firearms, defensive skills, and trauma response
Cory has spent his entire career operating where split-second decisions dictate who goes home safely. As a former Critical Care Paramedic and Firefighter, Cory handled high-stress 911 emergencies in Detroit, worked in the emergency department of a Level 1 Trauma Center, and practiced cutting-edge pre-hospital medicine under Vanderbilt-affiliated protocols in Tennessee. He understands what happens to the human body and mind when adrenaline spikes and chaos hits. Today, Cory translates that real-world crisis management into defensive firearms and medical training for everyday citizens, specializing in concealed carry preparation, situational awareness, and bystander trauma response. His teaching is grounded in the performance-based adult learning methods of Tom Givens Rangemaster and SIG Academy, where practical instruction, measurable performance, and effective coaching are central to the student experience.

Why Aegis Meridian Group?
We Don't Create Soldiers — We Create Protectors
We don't deal in fantasy, and we don't indulge in cosplay. Our mission is grounded in a singular, sobering reality: the protection of home, family, and community. A soldier fights for a flag or a cause; a Protector fights for the person standing right behind them. Whether you are a first-time gun owner or a professional seeking advanced skills, we meet you exactly where you are — training for the high-stakes moment where your skill is the only thing standing between life and death.

The Pursuit of Mastery
For those with the hunger to be the best version of themselves for the sake of those they love.
The Choice
