About Corsair Tactical Solutions

Steve Hopwood is a proud Navy Veteran, and 2nd Amendment advocate, I believe it is necessary to train the spirit, mind and body to address any scenario that may present itself to harm you and your family.

Preparation for success begins with training yourself and your family on what it takes to survive, endure and thrive in difficult moments.

Mental preparedness, situational awareness, contingency planning, firearms training, first aid, conflict avoidance, and your response to threats are all part of the training needed to be your own first responder. I stress safety first.

As a veteran that has endured all types of environments, it's imperative to prepare for all contingencies you or your family may face.

Steve Hopwood is the President and CEO of Corsair Tactical Solutions. Please contact 214-335-6652 or email corsairtacticalsolutions@gmail.com for more information.
