AMBASSADOR ACADEMY
Born out of the necessity to inform and equip ambassadors to be the front lines of our modern day culture war, our mission is to empower ambassadors to positively impact their communities about personal safety, firearms, and constitutional rights through effective communication.
​
Ambassador Academy is a five day training opportunity for individuals who want to become more proficient with firearm safety and digital warfare. The goal is to not only create better ambassadors for the companies they represent, but for the entire firearms community.
It’s difficult for the average person to look and sound good on camera without any training. Social media is the cornerstone of society, and it’s ever changing.
It’s imperative that we start training our communities and put our own, positive messaging about gun ownership, self defense, and the reward of self reliance. How many times have you heard, “I support the 2nd Amendment, but why does anyone need an AR15?” If you don’t have a canned response, it’s tough to answer off the cuff!
​
Do you want to make an impact for generations to come? We'll see you at the next Ambassador Academy!

KEVIN STARKEY
Filmmaker & Photographer
Kevin Starkey is an independent documentary filmmaker, content creator, and photographer. He has been a part of the WOFT team for over 10 years and captures highlight moments at WOFT training events.
Kevin's portfolio includes working with hospitals, schools, restaurants, and other small businesses. His passion for filmmaking started as early as junior high school where in theater class he preferred being behind a camera recording the play instead of being on stage.
A childhood dream led him to the RC Airplane hobby at the age of 16, attempting to put a camera in the sky. The RC hobby was rediscovered as an adult when he started building drones during the early stages of the technology, achieving the childhood vision he had of a bird's eye view with a camera in the sky.
Working on commercials and documentaries has allowed him to travel the world doing what he loves.
