He has helped many officers develop the skills necessary to remain safe in an increasingly dangerous world. Now he is sharing his experience to help you be your own 1st Responder.
“You can throw a rock and no doubt hit a current or former member of the public safety community, selling personal safety. What you can’t find, is one with the knowledge, practical experience, modernization and passion to do it well. A true “student of the game”, you won’t be disappointed.”
Kevin L.

There can be an awful sense of alienation and loss when a veteran returns home from service. There may be a feeling of lack of purpose and structure, which can lead to depression. A 2014 study found that suicide rates were 22 percent higher among U.S. veterans than the adult population overall. And while there is a wealth of anecdotal evidence about service dogs easing the symptoms of PTSD—which is thought to afflict around 10 to 18 percent of those returning from Iraq and Afghanistan, there’s an increasing amount of hard evidence, too. A recent Purdue University study found that of veterans with PTSD, those with service dogs had lower levels of depression and lower levels of social isolation.

YES. There is an inherent belief that we will somehow rise to the occasion, however my experience and training has shown we are much more likely to sink to the level of our training. If you haven't trained with your pepper spray canister or TASER in a controlled environment under the supervision of a qualified trained and certified instructor, with progressive degrees of stress induced, your ability to deploy either of these tools is greatly diminished under actual duress. We cover multiple facets of deployment of either of these self defense tools to greatly improve your odds of a successful outcome during your time of need. People who attend this training are amazed at the actual benefit it provides.
Yes, in Florida. Currently both items that I train with, SABRE 3 in 1 defensive spray and TASER Pulse Plus are lawful to carry in Florida without a permit. That is not to imply you should do so without first receiving proper training from a qualified trained and certified instructor. Quality training will help ensure you know when it is legal and justified to deploy either of these self defense tools. It will also help you develop more situational awareness to avoid the dangerous encounter altogether whenever possible.
Are you a knowledgeable, skilled and experienced shooter that regularly attends a range to practice? If so, an express course may be OK for you. If, however, you are one of the millions of 1st time shooters and gun owners who have held a pistol once or twice in your lifetime and now believe the permit to carry a gun will somehow protect you, please seek out more appropriate training. The decision to carry a firearm for personal protection is one of the most important ones you will ever make and should not be made without 1st seeking out proper training. Law enforcement personnel train and qualify regularly throughout the year and yet most officers, and their trainers, will tell you that isn't nearly enough. Statistics show that trained and qualified Law Enforcement officers hit their target with less than 50% of the rounds they fire. That means one out of every two rounds fired misses and goes somewhere unintended. Imagine what that means for citizens who have never trained, or only attended an express course to meet a minimum standard required to receive a permit? What are the odds of you hitting what you aim at, or even knowing with proficiency when to introduce a handgun into a situation or how to draw, aim, fire, reload, clear a malfunction, etc while engaged in an armed conflict? To thine own self be true - will the gun make you more or less safe with only an express course to rely on? Our 5 hour CCW course is backed by the United States Concealed Carry Association and exceeds the standard for the Florida Concealed Carry Permit. And this is only the beginning. We offer more advanced training to take your skill to the next level.
