He may be an instructor there, but not the founder.

The Navy vet Jeff Cooper began his service in 1990, while the academy's FB page identifies its founder as a Lieutenant Colonel Jeff Cooper who served in WWII and the Korean War.

Gunsite was founded in 1976 by Lt. Col. Jeff Cooper, author, columnist, professor, WW II and Korean War combat veteran.
