I took the foundational handgun class yesterday with John. He is a wonderful teacher, very knowledgeable, intuitive and great at reading and understanding the way people learn. I'd never held a gun in my life before and was a little nervous. He did a great job at making me feel comfortable and confident. I felt free to ask lots of questions and go at my pace. Not only did John teach me great handgun handling and safety fundamentals but he also provides a crash course in defensive thinking along the way. I am beyond grateful and can't wait to take the next course! Read Less

Yesterday I paused our class for a brief moment to give a handshake to John for the improvements that I’ve made. It was awesome seeing John just as excited as I was, like a football coach celebrating a winning touchdown or wrestling coach celebrating a pinned opponent. Seeing improvements class by class is by far a great achievement, by having an instructor like John is the product of my success.
A big THANK YOU JOHN !
See you next class.

Read MoreI signed up for a Defensive Carbine 1 course, and John was my instructor. John is very knowledgeable in his area of study and dedicated to teaching his craft to those who are willing to learn, and he tailors each class to the student that he is instructing. John offers excellent insight and tips, and I learned a great deal of information and techniques from him in a short period of time. His training is well worth the time and money, and I would recommend him to anyone looking to learn more about how to properly and safely handle their firearms!
