I work with SMBs in the $5-50 million/yr range in critical infrastructure verticals including the manufacturing and medical industries, and help them develop plans in 90 days or less for recovering from a cyber attack. I also offer assistance and consulting on various physical safety and security challenges faced by organizations to help make them safer places to work.

I transform my audiences by sharing the most effective and focused strategies, tips and tools for improving security and safety that I have gleaned from over 27 years in business working with over 700 organizations. I know what works as well as what doesn't. In fact, over 80% of all safety and security problems can be dealt with through effective training and well-defined, systematic processes. Want to know how?

Threats to our safety, identity, and livelihood have never been greater. I can be the "go-to" resource for any organization looking to improve the security of their company and the safety of their employees. I am dedicated to keeping people and businesses safe in both the digital world and the physical world.

Through my extensive experience as an IT consultant who has run their own business since 1995, I have adapted and evolved along with the threats to my clients from cyber criminals in order to keep my clients' systems, networks and data secure.

As a martial arts and self-defense instructor for over 25 years, I have trained hundreds of individuals (men, women, children, professionals, etc) on how to improve their personal safety and security and effectively defend themselves from physical attack.

I make people and organizations safer in minutes, not months when seconds count.
