My Biography
Michael James is a senior instructor with Refinery Training Center, and has extensive experience with pistol, rifle, and shotgun safety.
Michael has worked as an emergency nurse and paramedic for the last 17 years, and is a certified “Stop the Bleed” instructor. His priority as a USCCA instructor is to educate and train his students in safety, while giving them the necessary skills to protect themselves and their families.
“I see firearm training as just one component of being a responsible citizen. In my opinion, it’s not much different than knowing how to build a fire, perform CPR, or change a tire. I want people to learn that firearms aren’t scary or dangerous if handled responsibly by trained individuals.”
In his free time, Michael enjoys camping, hunting, and spending time outdoors with his family.
