I have been going to Mac for the last 5 years and will continue to do so for my licensing needs and training. He continues to inform us of any law changes that could affect our jobs as well as a comprehensive schedule, so that we, as security officers can choose a date that works for us. Mac is well-versed in what he does for a living and you would benefit from the knowledge he passes on through his classes. Always a pleasure to see him.
