CEILIDH JEANS

Ceilidh Jeans is an actor and host from Los Angeles. She originally hails from the beautiful mountains of Northern Arizona where she spent most of her formative years running around the forest in camouflage and building tree forts. Ceilidh was the proud owner of her first .22 caliber pistol at an age where most girls were reaching for Barbie Dolls. She is the daughter of a pretty big name in the firearms training community…because of this fact being known by most teenage boys in town she spent most of her time not dating. Luckily all that free time allowed her watch some pretty amazing instructors running classes at Jeff Cooper’s Gunsite, including her father, and to particularly be inspired by the many women participants who were not afraid to take charge of their own safety as well as that of their family. Ceilidh is excited to join Make Ready TV and showcase some fantastic instructors that keep providing pro tips to a new audience.
