Mark Hopkins did and amazing job. He was a great instructor and was able to build my skill level up quickly. He made me feel at ease while conducting the training and made me feel very comfortable when I had any questions no matter how novice they might have been. I took his course to get my enhanced carry permit and would highly recommend him for the class. His one on one instruction when needed made me grateful to have chosen him as my instructor and I will definitely go back for more training in the near future. read more
