ETA Instructors: C. Nash, M. Hull, and M. Vaught
ETA instructors are the best in our field. On average, each senior instructor has over twenty years of tracking experience, and fundamentally knows how to track as well as how to teach students to do the same. As a guiding training philosophy, both in the classroom and outdoors, “it’s not about the cool things the instructors have done within the skillset, it’s about the great things the students will do.” Our focus is always on the students. We are there for them.
ETA is currently led and directed by Cornelius Nash, a seasoned tracker who has an extensive background in tracking/scouting operations as well as program development and instruction. An avid horseman and skilled in the saddle, Cornelius was a horsemanship instructor and
scout for Fort Huachuca and the United States Border Patrol. Mr. Nash is a graduate of the United States Military Academy at West Point, as well as Texas A&M University’s Entrepreneurial Bootcamp for Veterans (EBV) Business Program.
