Quote from me….

“Out of all the different positions I have held, security has always served as the primary objective. Whether that is the security of the general public, defendants, incarcerated individuals, or myself and my own family. The only way to maintain optimal security is by way of training. The one thing I have truly found passion in, is educating people in the newest and most innovative ways of protecting themselves and the ones they love. You don’t have to be an officer of any kind to be well trained, however, I encourage officers of all kinds as well as the general public, to continue to out-train your competition, and to be confident in relying on yourself, when no one else is coming.”
