Truly engaging class, everyone participates! Mike regularly checks for understanding, while making dry material enjoyable. His background and emphasis on communication and understanding of your fellow man is an exemplary standard our police could learn from. You can see him deescalate a road rage incident with compassion on his socials! I think everyone should take this class for the insight!

Mr. Mike Brown is very knowledgeable about his passion on teaching his class. His outlook on helping you goes with the accountability he holds to himself for giving you the best of him. His credibility speaks for itself. His background of education in his field is amazing. Very funny gentleman when also teaching his class. Participation is a must with him. You would really love his class. I gain a lot my knowledge. Reality is great. Very humble brother.

I don’t even know where to begin, My instructor Mike Brown by far was the best instructor I’ve ever had for any type of training that I’ve ever done. I learned so much information in so little time but the way he teaches, it’s like that information will stick with you forever! This man knows his stuff! He’s amazing at what he does, he’s very knowledgeable & intentional with his work and you can tell that he loves what he do.! I feel like having a great instructor makes the class 10x better so I appreciate that! 1000/10 will recommend, DID recommend and I will be back for more trainings!

I really enjoyed the class! Mike taught from numerous perspectives from the mental aspect, to behavioral health, and then weapon use. I loved that he addressed and assessed competency to make sure people met expectations for him to deem them ready for such a big responsibility. He gave clear and relevant scenarios in all settings that were simple enough and entertaining enough to engage us and have us retain the information. He’s unique in his teaching method and extensively informing. Be prepared to learn thoroughly 10/10.

Mike was outstanding. Professional, funny, and extremely knowledgeable. This was my second time taking a concealed carry class, and I can confidently say my first class didn’t even compare. Mike explains everything clearly, keeps you engaged, and makes sure you actually understand the laws and responsibilities—not just pass the class. I love how he implemented mental health awareness and care for individuals. If you’re looking for top-tier instruction from someone who knows his stuff and respects the seriousness of carrying, this is the class to take. Highly recommend.
