346 Millennium - A Marquis Who’s Who Magazine ENTREPRENEURS Bearing a lifelong passion for the art of wingshooting, S. Kazim “Kaz” Nawab has found success in his role as the owner of the Kaz Shooting School. In this capacity, he has provided shooting lessons to students both privately and as an executive shooting instructor at the American Shooting Center in Houston, Texas, since 1994. Throughout his career, he has proudly instructed such prominent students as John Gibson, a former president of Halliburton Energy Services, Glenn Eller, an Olympic gold medalist, and several other state champions in Texas. Additionally, Mr. Nawab has been hailed for his performance as a competition shooter, scoring high at championship events hosted by the National Sporting Clays Association in 1997 and 2006. While coming of age, Mr. Nawab first became interested in shotgun sports while hunting with his family. After graduating from Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey, magna cum laude, he went on to work in international banking for several years before pivoting his career interests back toward his passion for shooting. He migrated from hunting to clay target shooting and received medals for his performance during state competitions held in New Jersey. Seeking greater challenges, Mr. Nawab moved to Texas, where he became certified in teaching others to shoot. After meeting the owner of a gun club in Houston, he was invited to open his own school at the American Shooting Center. Adjacent to his primary duties, Mr. Nawab is a frequent participant in charitable events, including with the Harris County Law Enforcement Foundation and the Sky High Club. He also remains active as an advocate for disadvantaged children, for whom he greatly enjoys demonstrating the responsible use of firearms — as a tool for harvesting wildlife or for sport, rather than as a means for taking lives. Looking toward the future, he aspires to encourage more people to become involved in competitive shooting, particularly for raising money for worthy causes. Additionally, Mr. Nawab hopes to work in the field of conservation. Millennium Magazine Featured Listee S. KAZIM “KAZ” NAWAB OWNER Kaz Shooting School Windsor, NY
