Mike is a veteran of the United States Air Force, where he conducted weapons and drill training for the Tyndall Air Force Base Honor Guard Team from 1988 to 1991, and also served as a weapons instructor and maintenance inspector for a rapid deployment team of Civil Engineers from 1988 to 1992, including an overseas assignment during the first Persian Gulf War. He attained certification as a Combat Focus Shooting instructor in October of 2009, and also attained certification as an NRA Pistol Instructor in March of 2010. He founded Intuitive Training Concepts, LLC in November of 2009.

I was first introduced to the Combat Focus Shooting program, like many, through the NRA video series.  I watched the first CFS video and was, to say the least, very intrigued.  This naturally led to my taking a course with I.C.E. Training Company in May of 2008, and hosting a course later that year.  Through attending  the end user training and by studying the program through reading the first book and watching every video I could get my hands on, I found that the training concepts in the program made perfect sense, and that this was a program that I was very passionate about sharing with others.  I wanted to teach a program that would truly help people to be better prepared to defend themselves with a firearm, and this one definitely does that.  The rest, as they say, is history, and I am very proud and tremendously honored to be an instructor in this program.
