The Senior Instructor David Makoa has spent 2 decades both in the US Military and Civilian sector Multiplying Defenders and creating well rounded competent individuals!  He is in a class of his own who spits it like he see’s it, pays meticulous attention to detail, and treats people accordingly.  He leads with professional courtesy and kindness but has very limited tolerance ignorance.  He is what made this place genuine and effective for over 12 years and this is how he’ll remain.  His vision and dream for this place set him on a relentless pursuit to succeed regardless of the sacrifice so he could create the best possible versions of people and for another 12 years he hopes and aspires to continue to impact lives in Montgomery County one day at a time.
