Craig was very thorough in his review of the material. Class started on time; he was helpful and patient with those that were having trouble signing on. His experience and knowledge were salient to all of the material covered. He kept things moving forward and was very clear about the requirements for certification and the procedure requirements. I took my test immediately after and scored well, due to the thoroughness of the information presented. Craig related his experience during the class, used humor when appropriate and did a great job for all the students. A+!

He has a remarkable ability to explain complex material in a clear and practical way, making it easy to understand, remember, and apply. His teaching style greatly improved my ability to retain the information presented, and the learning process felt natural rather than overwhelming. Scott’s knowledge, structure, and engagement set him apart, and he is without question the best instructor I’ve had so far. I truly appreciate his dedication to teaching and highly recommend him to anyone looking for an effective and professional learning experience.

I had the privilege of learning from Gary during my Fire and Smoke Restoration training, and I can confidently say the experience exceeded all expectations. He brought a wealth of real-world knowledge to every session, blending technical expertise with practical insights that made complex concepts easy to grasp. What stood out most was Gary’s ability to connect the science of fire behavior and smoke damage with the hands-on restoration techniques we’ll actually use in the field. The course was not only informative but also engaging, thanks to his clear communication style, patience, and genuine passion for the industry. I left the training feeling confident, well-prepared, and inspired to apply what I learned to real claims. Whether you're new to restoration or looking to deepen your expertise, I highly recommend Gary as a top-tier educator in this field.

I had the opportunity to attend the IICRC Fire and Smoke Restoration Technician (FSRT) class taught by Gary—and I have to say, it exceeded my expectations in every way. From the start, Gary created an atmosphere that was both engaging and down-to-earth. His teaching style is easy to follow, even when the material could’ve easily felt dry or overly technical. He brought a ton of real-world experience into the classroom, which helped connect the textbook concepts to what actually happens out in the field. What really stood out was how approachable and open Gary was. He encouraged questions, shared stories from past projects, and made sure everyone in the class—whether new to fire restoration or seasoned—was keeping up and getting value. You could tell he genuinely cares about raising the bar in our industry, and it made the whole class more impactful. The class content was thorough but not overwhelming. I walked away with a much better understanding of the complexities involved in fire and smoke jobs, including how to assess damage, communicate with clients, and follow proper restoration procedures. It wasn’t just about passing a test—it was about being better at what we do. If you're in the restoration field and want to boost your confidence and knowledge when it comes to fire and smoke losses, I’d absolutely recommend taking this FSRT course. And if Gary is teaching it, even better—you’re in great hands.

I recently took an online course taught by Gary, and I couldn't be more impressed. Despite being an older gentleman, his deep expertise was evident. Gary knows the course material inside and out, and his teaching style makes complex topics easy to understand. I appreciated his thorough explanations and the way he broke things down step-by-step. Thanks to his excellent instruction, I passed the course test with a score of 94.79, which I’m really proud of. Overall, I highly recommend Gary as an instructor. His knowledge and dedication make him a standout teacher in the field.
