Background
Brian Costanza brings more than two decades of high-level tactical experience with the Oklahoma Highway Patrol, including 14 years as the Tactical Team Leader. A highly decorated law enforcement professional, he has distinguished himself through decisive leadership, disciplined execution, and consistent performance in the most demanding operational environments. As a U.S. Marshal Task Force Officer (TFO), Brian applies his extensive tactical expertise to the planning and execution of high-risk fugitive operations, delivering focused leadership and effective results when the stakes are highest.
Years of operational experience have reinforced Brian's understanding that performance on demand is not accidental; it is the product of disciplined training, sound fundamentals, and the ability to apply those fundamentals when it matters most. This philosophy drives his commitment to the law enforcement community and responsible armed citizens who recognize the importance of preparation, accountability, and continued development.
As a former student of AHT and an active USPSA competitor, Brian brings an experience-driven, performance-focused perspective to instruction. His approach centers on a principle-based training methodology that develops foundational skills, emphasizes their application in context, and challenges students to understand their performance beyond the comfort of familiar drills. His objective is to help students build a deeper understanding of the principles behind effective performance, identify areas for improvement, and develop the skills necessary to perform with greater consistency under pressure.
