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. Marlene F.

I recently completed FSRT training with Gary and had an outstanding experience.

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. Bryan N.

I am new to this line of work so my eyes were wide open, or I should say "ears wide open." I thought Mike was a great instructor providing an overall education with details and specifics throughout. I enjoyed listening to his professional experiences as he used them to solidify the points he was making. I look forward to attending more of the classes he offers. Normally training can be long and boring, but his were the opposite of that. Chris R.

Michael is an entertaining educator. I enjoyed his course & the wealth of knowledge he carries; however, his teaching style seemed to be more suitable for individuals of whom have previous experience in the fire restoration field. As someone who doesn’t have fire restoration experience, I would’ve appreciated a teaching style that could’ve been more effective for a first timer. Still, a good experience nevertheless. Thank you.

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.
