My Biography

Michael Rowan, your primary instructor and owner of Trigger Burst, honorably retired as a decorated Command Level Peace Officer from the California Department of Corrections after serving over 30 years. Over half of his career was at the position of Parole Agent. Michael began instructing Correctional Peace Officers in firearms in 1987 earning his first Range Master Instructor Credentials from the FBI. Since then, he has gone on to receive instructor credentials from the California DOJ, the NRA Law Enforcement Division, BSIS, The United States Concealed Carry Association (USCCA), and he now serves as a CCW instructor for the Ventura County Sheriff, William Ayub. Since retirement, Michael has worked in the private security industry protecting many “A” list celebrities, serving as a personal Body Guard for billionaire executives, and he worked with the Secret Service and Department of State on several presidential details. He brings this experience to the classroom where he instructs security guards, executive protection agents, law enforcement, as well as civilians in firearms and CCW Permits, home defense, and defensive tactics.

    "Mike, my instructor was an incredible wealth of information and a superb teacher. I believe you would be hard pressed to find a more knowledgeable and experienced instructor for almost any firearms related training. "

    "An excellent class, with an outstanding instructor. Mike truly takes pride in developing safe, consistent and effective shooters. You will leave this class with skills you only dreamed about at the beginning. Sadly, Mike is moving his family out of California. He will be missed. He set the bar VERY high. "
