Courses are taught by Nick Bondi.

Nick is a Marine Veteran with five years of service. During his time in the United States Marine Corps, he worked at US Embassies and Consulates in Barbados, Cambodia, & Saudi Arabia.

After his service, Nick pursued higher education, earning a Bachelor of Arts degree in Chicago. He and his wife then moved to Vancouver, BC, where he worked in hospitality, security, and medical services for large events.

In 2016, he discovered his true calling—to become a firefighter. He volunteered for a fire department for a year and a half before his dream of becoming a career firefighter was realized in September 2018. Fast forward five years, and Nick is still proudly serving with his career department.

Nick possesses extensive knowledge in handling various firearms from his military background. In recent years, he has discovered a newfound enthusiasm for hunting. He is excited to share his knowledge as an instructor for the CFSC & CRFSC program.
