Trace Armory Group

I'm John Boyette, Owner and Lead Trainer at Trace Armory Group. With over twenty years of dedicated experience in self-defense training, particularly specializing in home defense tactics, I've had the honor of instructing more than 2000 students since our establishment in 2010. My background as a US Army Airborne Infantryman, with extensive combat and peacekeeping operational experience spanning 22 months, informs my approach to instruction. I currently serve as a full-time Armed Nuclear Security Officer. Additionally, I contribute to the Online Facility atSDI for the Gunsmithing Program. In this capacity, I lead two community college level classes: "FTT 221: Sights, Optics, and Accuracy" and "FTT 240: Shooting Sports Business Management." I impart unique insights and expertise from my diverse background through these courses. Each training session benefits from my comprehensive knowledge base and focused approach, ensuring that every student receives the highest quality instruction tailored to their needs. Our mission at Trace Armory Group is to equip individuals with the tools and confidence necessary to create a safe and secure environment in their homes. We offer comprehensive home defense training programs that focus on practical techniques and strategies for handling potential threats effectively.
