About us

MY FOUNDATION:
With more than two decades of dedicated service in law enforcement and security operations, I possess extensive practical experience complemented by advanced formal education, including a Master’s degree in Public Safety and a Graduate Certificate in Executive Protection. My professional focus has encompassed comprehensive threat assessments, crisis response and intervention, disaster management, physical security measures, and active shooter preparedness and intervention. I have consistently demonstrated effectiveness in conducting detailed security assessments, complex investigations, de-escalation training, and coordinated emergency response initiatives. My background includes firsthand leadership and operational roles during active shooter events, domestic violence investigations, and workplace violence incidents. By leveraging my robust combination of education, rigorous training, and practical field experience, I am committed to delivering exceptional protective services and ensuring the highest standards of safety and security across diverse organizational and community settings.

I BELIEVE:
“If you fail to plan, you plan to fail.” No one wants to believe that they’ll ever be a crime victim, but the undeniable reality is that violence is becoming an epidemic. I take workplace safety and security planning seriously, partnering up with businesses to protect against workplace violence because I have seen the suffering that results when the unthinkable happens.
