MICHIGAN Church Safety & Security Conference

Training in martial arts since 2010, holding a black belt and formerly serving as an assistant instructor with my primary teacher. Professional background includes over two years of security experience in high-volume, chaotic environments, four years as a platoon medic with the 82nd Airborne, and three years of civilian EMS experience both as an EMT and paramedic.

My approach to training emphasizes practical, accessible skills that can be applied in real-world situations. I promote a training environment built on honesty, transparency, and practicality—minimizing fantasy and delusion while encouraging continued learning and development.
