Interests:
Keeping people from becoming statistics (in a negative sense).

• In 2007 I began teaching people how to reduce their risk of being the victim of a violent crime. It is always better to not be chosen to become a victim of violent crime. However, it is not always possible to avoid being attacked. Because of that, I teach people how to defend themselves if they are attacked. I teach people how they can get through an attack and get to a safe place, without using a weapon, if possible.

If people want to learn about weapons, I am equipped to do that as well…
up to and including Florida Concealed Weapons Permit classes

• Volunteer Work:
I am a member of an organization that raises money for local charities.
Since 2007 we have raised over $55,000 for local charities which help widows and orphans and the families of police officers slain in the line of duty. The organization is "Warriors For Christ and Country", and we use paintball to raise money for local charities.

I founded Self-Protection Concepts on the desire to help others not become statistics.

In an ideal world, we would all work together, helping each other to achieve our dreams.

In the real world, sometimes people find themselves in danger from others.
I enable people to realize that they:
• Have worth;
• Deserve protecting;
• Sometimes need protecting;
• Can protect themselves;
• Will sometimes be the only person that will protect themselves.

I offer both Self-Protection Seminars and firearms classes, including Florida Concealed Weapons Permit classes.

Self-Protection Concepts

I have several seminars you can choose from:

• 2 hour Foundations of Self-Protection;
• 4 hour Intermediate Level of Self-Protection;
• 4 hour Domestic Violence Awareness Workshop;
• Mother-Daughter, and Father-Daughter Seminars.

And a variety of Firearms classes, including:

• Basic Handgun Safety;
• 1^st Time Shooter;
• Marksmanship;
• And Florida Concealed Weapons Permit classes.

I offer all of these in a variety of Packages and Subscriptions.

From a business perspective you get the benefits of:

• Improved morale among your employees, as they see that you care not just about their production, but also, their welfare;
• Improved morale has been shown to lead to increased productivity of workers;
• Keeping your employees safer while performing their job away from your facility.

Beyond those person related benefits, I want to encourage you to consider that when bringing me in to present this self-protection seminar you can also have the benefit of a sizable tax deduction.
