About

Based in Ohio, Tactical Skills Development (TSD) is led by a cadre of instructors whose real-world experience is as impressive as their qualifications. Founder Chris Timmerman is a former Army Ranger and infantry officer, a veteran of high-threat executive protection, and a tactical medic. His team includes a firefighter/paramedic and an engineer, all bringing diverse professional perspectives to the range. Their training philosophy is grounded in proven tactics, with instructors who have trained under some of the most respected names in the industry. They focus on developing the necessary skills for effective, responsible carry and defense, from fundamentals to advanced concepts. This is not abstract theory—it’s practical, tested knowledge delivered by practitioners who live what they teach. For serious, reality-based firearms training in Ohio, TSD offers exceptional depth of experience.
