Scott Willey — Instructor Profile

About Scott Willey

Scott Willey is the lead instructor and founder of Paladin Tower Tactics. Scott is a combat veteran who served as an infantryman and paratrooper in the 173rd Airborne Brigade Combat Team in Vicenza Italy. While in Italy, God radically changed his life and called him and his family out of the military. He then entered a career in Law Enforcement in middle Tennessee.

After serving for 8 years, Scott took another step of faith and left his full-time career in Law Enforcement. During his time there he was assigned to the patrol division and SWAT team. In addition to this, he held several extra duties including firearms instructor and armorer. He has attended many law enforcement related courses and is a lifelong student. Scott is a Tennessee POST certified firearms instructor, a CQB instructor (certified through Lead Faucet Tactical), a red dot pistol instructor (certified through Modern Samurai Project), a TN Armed Guard Certified Instructor, and he is a graduate of the FBI Firearms Instructor Course. In 2024 Scott had the privilege of working as an adjunct instructor for the prestigious Midsouth Training Institute. Scott is still serving in Law Enforcement part-time as a Reserve Sheriff's Deputy for an agency in middle Tennessee and is assigned to the SWAT team there. In 2024 Scott was called to plant The Testimony Church in Clarksville Tennessee. He currently serves as the head pastor of the church.

Scott has committed Paladin Tower Tactics to his Lord, Jesus the Christ. It is because of His blessing that the organization continues to grow. Scott's passion is that men and women everywhere would be reconciled to God through Jesus. He loves his country, and wants to equip his fellow Americans to not only be protectors of life, but thrive under the blessing of knowing God. Scott, his wife, and four children live in middle Tennessee and are thrilled to follow hard after Jesus as He continues to lead and care for them.
