About
Meet Joshua Williams - Instructor and Owner of Defensive Solutions (pictured)
Firearms and self-defense have played significant roles in Josh's life, both positively and negatively, since his childhood. Growing up in the vibrant yet unpredictable city of New Orleans, he learned early on that one can never be too prepared for unexpected encounters. After spending 16 years in Louisiana, Josh relocated to Montana in 2004, bringing with him a wealth of experience and a passion for teaching others how to protect themselves.
Josh continued his education after moving to Montana, completing high school, and attending college for a brief period before deciding to serve his country by enlisting in the U.S. Army. He chose Infantry as his Military Occupational Specialty (MOS), which further solidified the crucial role of weapons in his life. Throughout multiple combat deployments to Afghanistan, Josh honed his skills and expertise in weaponry and tactics.
As a Glock certified armorer and weapons and tactics instructor, Josh decided to establish Defensive Solutions in 2023 after years of providing informal training to friends. Encouraged by their support and enthusiasm, he embraced the idea of sharing his knowledge with a wider audience. And so, Defensive Solutions was born. We're thrilled to welcome you to our community of empowered, prepared individuals!
