Mike is awesome.
The knowledge and understanding he imparts in his course can take your proficiency with firearms to the next level. He is patient, detail oriented and a great coach to have when you are wanting to advance your skill set. I will be coming back for more instruction and I hope to experience and learn more from Mike.

Mike is an exceptional instructor. His knowledge base is vast and expansive, and his communication skills are up to the task of conveying what he knows in an accessible and comprehensible way. He’s patient, and gentle, and kind. That’s a big deal in a firearms instructor! His wealth of experience allows him to see and diagnose issues really fast, and offer solutions in the moment. This leads to a super efficient learning environment. I’ve trained with him 3 times for 3 different courses and I’m actively trying to figure out when my next class with him will be.
