Wil Cartwright
Shooting started as a fun way to connect with his father, but as the years passed a hobby became a profession. Wil Cartwright caught the firearm bug at an early age, and for the twenty plus years after the first time he fired his first shot, he sought the height of his capability. Training with a variety of shooters from military to law enforcement (Proud Dad Note: Wil has done extensive training with folks like John Farnam and Ken Hackathorn among others), Wil realized that if he wanted to truly be a better shooter, teaching would be his next challenge. Explaining complex ideas to students who may soon be in the fight for their life gave a budding instructor an appreciation for language, philosophy, and writing. When not shooting, teaching, or training Wil can be found delving into the depths of a variety of topics, anything from writing fiction and poetry, to finding the best taco truck in town.


Jack Andenoro

Jack Andenoro is a lifetime student and has been studying the employment of firearms since 2015. As an American and amateur philosopher, Jack believes the ownership and skilled use of weaponry is the last bulwark against the horrors and atrocities of mankind. Plus, guns are rad.
Jack is employed in the insurance industry, instructs comedy improv courses, and holds an industrial engineering degree.
He has had the privilege to formally train with:
- Tactical Response
- Regular Guy Training
- Freddie Mercs Gun Werks
- Warrior Poet Society
- Greenline Tactical
- Mike Seeklander
- Andrew Branca
- TNVC
- Flathead Firearm Handling
- Tactic
and of course, SAC Tactical. Jack has successfully completed a formal firearms instructor certification course. This course, developed by SAC Tactical, consists of 120+ hours of apprenticeship and formalized training. Jack has joined SAC Tactical as a “Staff Instructor”. Congratulations Jack!

Philosophy of Instruction
SAC Tactical seeks to instruct and thereby help create students who demonstrate critical decision- making skills and responsible weapons handling in stressful situations involving the application of deadly physical force and do so within the bounds of the law. To that end, SAC Tactical vets our students so only lawful, responsible citizens can access our training. Class size is limited to insure each student gets the necessary “one on one” instruction to insure their individual improvement and success. SAC Tactical prefers to produce “quality” students rather than “quantity”. Bruce chooses to teach because he “wants” to, rather than because he “needs” to.
As an FBI Special Agent, Bruce routinely had to justify to the courts, prosecutors, juries, FBI management and the public, that his actions were reasonable and within the confines of the law. Bruce brings that philosophy of accountability to his students. SAC Tactical students are critical thinkers that can act and operate on their own and are aware of the enormous costs associated with the use of deadly force. The result of this awareness, gleaned from Bruce’s years of investigative and courtroom experience, is that SAC Tactical students strive to use deadly force only as a last resort.
Origin of Our Company Name
I have been asked what the initials in SAC Tactical stand for. Here is the short version. After I retired from the FBI, I formed a company so I could pursue several possible business ventures. That company is called SA Consulting, LLC. SAC Tactical is division of SA Consulting, LLC. When preparing the business documents, I needed to come up with a name. The initials I settled on were SA. These initials stand for either: 1) “Special Agent”; 2) “Situational Awareness”; and /or 3) “Squared Away”. All are applicable. I tend to favor “Squared Away” as that is something one aims to achieve both personally and professionally among my circle of friends and knuckledraggers. I hope that clarifies things.
