What makes your training different from others?

My seminars are built on 20+ years of real-world law enforcement and corporate security experience, including undercover work, high risk operations, and executive protection. My perspective on personal safety security is based on my own personal experience in these various roles and the interactions I have had with the criminal element as a result. My training is practical, engaging, and immediately applicable to real-life situations we all face on a daily basis. The AVIRT training seminars include hands-on practice to ensure employees have the skills necessary immediately take appropriate action to help save a life.

Who are your seminars designed for?

My seminars are designed for corporations, organizations, churches, and schools that want to improve workplace safety and employee preparedness. I also provide tailored programs for specific populations, including real estate professionals, young adults, and youth/teens. Small group seminars are also available.

How long are the training sessions?

Most seminars are two hours in length. Half- day workshops are also available for organizations that want in-depth, scenario-based training. However, we can discuss the time constraints and expectations of your organization and easily accommodate your needs. Online only options are available as well for the AVIRT seminar.

Do you customize training for each organization?

Yes. Every organization has unique risks and needs. I work with leadership, HR teams, or security coordinators to ensure the seminar content is aligned with your environment and protocols.

Do participants receive materials or resources?

Yes. Upon request, take-home reference materials, are available. In addition, bleeding control Tac-Pacs including tourniquets and other emergency first aid materials are available for purchase.

Where do you conduct the seminars?

I conduct the seminars at your workplace or facility. Virtual seminars may also be available for certain programs. Smaller group training can be conducted at a site I provide.

Are your seminars appropriate for all employees?

Yes. The seminars and training programs are designed to be accessible and engaging for employees at every level.

Do you teach hands-on self-defense?

No. I do not provide martial arts or active hand-to-hand self-defense training. However, during the AVIRT (Active Violence Immediate Response Training) seminars participants practice critical survival skills such as:

• Disarming techniques in an active shooter scenario.

• Barricading and securing rooms.

• Applying tourniquets and other “Stop the Bleed” methods.

Participation in these hands-on exercises is completely voluntary.
