meet your instructor—Lewis Hendricks (Moe)
Based in Phoenix, our lead instructor is an active-duty military professional currently stationed at Luke Air Force Base. With a background in stealth technology, a master’s degree in cybersecurity, and years of concealed carry experience, he brings a no-nonsense, mission-focused approach to firearms training.
As a USCCA Certified Instructor and a licensed, insured trainer, he combines technical precision with a military mindset. Dark Water Operations is run by an active military member and built on core values of discipline, respect, and results—not bravado.
