"​Mike is the leader in the field of Elevator Emergencies and is highly respected throughout the state and the country. He is a valuable local asset and THE guy you want to teach this subject to your department. We were fortunate in Bridgeport to be able to schedule the seminar with Mike this year. Mike has a wealth of knowledge and experience to draw on. He did a tremendous job teaching our firefighters the key points and issues when performing an elevator rescue. Everyone really enjoyed the seminar, and the positive results of his teaching didn’t take long to happen."

"I learned about the DRM courses in 2017. I’m an elevator constructor/FF and along with another elevator constructor/FF went to CT to attend an open enrollment course. We were so happy to finally find a course and cadre that we felt comfortable recommending to other fire depts desperately seeking education. We later returned for the higher levels of training. Since 2017 we have recommended with great success the DRM program to far too many agencies to remember. Everyone always reports back to us it was well worth the training investment. DRM is committed to excellence. Open to adaptation and always working to improve with the changing industry of vertical transportation."
- Derek Thomas
