THE WHY
​
One spring afternoon, I was sorting out a heavy day of discipline as an assistant principal at a local high school. I received an emotional phone call from my middle-school daughter who was in the middle of a lockdown at her school- due to a man with a gun on campus. She was very nervous, hiding under a table. Her next few words chilled me to the bone, "Dad, the teacher doesn't know what to do and was running around crying, then she left..."

ABOUT
THE WHAT​
​
Making command decisions during a crisis is not easy and if you re not ready for it, the results can be devastating! My mission is to educate you on how to minimize the threat and maximize the safety for every student and staff member on your campus. Serving my country as a United States Marine, I gained valuable and extensive experience as a team leader in a Special Operations Unit. I combine that experience with over 22 years as an educator in at-risk schools and communities as a teacher and principal.
We live in uncertain times and school shootings are on the rise. Therefore, I’m fueled by my commitment to excellence in safeguarding campuses, period.
