Alex Acosta

Alex Acosta is a civilian marksman and USPSA Grandmaster living in Austin, Texas. He considers himself a perpetual student of both skill and tactics as it relates to being a responsible armed person.

His education is ongoing, having received over 300 hours of instruction from some of the nation's elite training schools. He continues to seek out methodology on topics related to the use of force, management of one's environment, modes of de-escalation, and diminished light skills.
