Hi, I’m Esti Rossberg.

I am a long time Baltimorean (originally a New Yorker) who worked in IT for many years before leaving the corporate world to pursue my three passions: sourdough bread baking, personal technology support, and personal and community safety & defense.

My personal mantra has always been “safety is no accident,” and that includes everything from making sure your children are buckled in the car, to making sure you can survive an intruder in your home.

I am an NRA and USCCA Certified Pistol Instructor and Range Safety Officer, a USCCA certified Women’s Handgun and Self Defense Fundamentals instructor, and I am also certified by the Maryland State Police to teach HQL (Handgun Qualification License) and CCW (Maryland Concealed Carry) courses. I teach Countering the Mass Shooter for institutions such as houses of worship and schools.

Additionally, I am a certified Refuse To Be A Victim® instructor. The RTBAV seminars teach individuals how to create their own personal/family safety plan by presenting a myriad of options and alternatives and allowing individuals to craft a plan based on their own situation and needs. The Refuse To Be A Victim seminar does not include any discussion of firearms, and is appropriate for all ages.
