What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a fully remote job. As a former business owner and military professional, customer experience is my utmost priority, and I want the flexibility to travel overseas and relocate.

I’m a security training executive and former military professional, focused on turning rigorous tactical standards into high-impact training programs. As CEO, I spearhead the organizational vision and operational scaling of a premier tactical training firm.

I lead program growth by developing specialized training curricula, expanding market reach, and building high-retention partnerships with private clients. I also maintain reputation through operational oversight, including quality control and standards for every program.

Previously, I served as Chief Instructor and Technical Authority, engineering concealed carry (CCW) and tactical firearms programs for high-threat environments. I supervised instructors, ran performance evaluations and technical workshops, and bridged the gap from basic proficiency to professional-grade tactical readiness.

I’ve delivered VIP close protection training and consulted on attack prevention and real-time response protocols in volatile environments. I also instructed in the government sector on courthouse defense, screening, detaining techniques, riot control, crowd management, and rapid de-escalation.
