Tom Gaughan
"My wife and I are visiting family and wanted to get some training in and reached out to see if we could drop in. My nephew is just getting started and had an amazing experience in the youth class. Scott is a great instructor and there were no easy rounds in the room - except for me now that I think about it!!! Seriously though, 5 stars!!!"
