I had Marc come over to my home for his Firearms Familiarization Course. He was very friendly, knowledgable, and professional. My impression of the course material was that it was comprehensive, well-thought-out, and excellently paced. Paired with the classroom material, the hands-on dry fire drills and the one-on-one live-fire range coaching were exceedingly effective at improving one’s confidence and…

Marc works with you to create a customized training plan, so you’re not thrown into a pre-planned program and you get exactly what you want out of the training.

Recently participated in Marc’s situational awareness training for our security and bar staff. His class offered scenario based training that really opened our eyes to the types of things that can be overlooked during the various situations that we encounter at work. Everyone who participated in the class learned something new about the situations that we encounter everyday.

I really liked that Marc did in home training. I had never touched a firearm before so it was intimidating and not something I would want to do in a large group of people. I was able to complete the class with my boyfriend and received a good deal doing it together. We were able to do hands on…

Completed a Safety’s Team Training was very eye opening. It’s so easy to fall into a false sense of security and as a result not see behaviors that should have alerted the team. Mark is always patient and insightful. Looking forward to our next session.
