Experiences Snapshot

Physical security, personal-defense, and de-escalation tactics are my bread and butter, but that's just scratching the surface. Through my time in the Air Force, it felt like I was living at double speed. Every year felt like 2 years crammed into one. So many experiences positive and negative that it's hard to keep track. In future articles I will be writing in more detail about specific events, responses, training and more to help share my insights and experience. The goal of this article is just to give a snapshot for those curious or trying to find more topics I may be able to help them on.

I have performed Security and Law Enforcement roles in every continent besides Antarctica and South America. I don't know everything about security, but I know enough that I don't remember everything I know off the top of my head.
