As a small business Owner, you learn to wear many hats. You have to be a good communicator, leader, teacher, customer service representative, as well as strong marketing and accountant.

Having my own small business taught me how to manage time and people, and to be resourceful.

One of my several accomplishments, as a Municipal Police Training Council (M.P.T.C.) certified “Master Instructor”, was overseeing many Instructor Development schools. I was the Supervising Officer or "officer in charge" (OIC) for several “Train the Trainer” (TTT) or “Instructor Development Course” (IDC) schools, and also OIC @ 2 Peace Officer Schools.

As a Master instructor for the Instructor Development Course or Train the Trainer, my role was complex. This course involves a 2-week intensive instruction and training program for teaching, evaluating, and counseling employees on how to become instructors. During this instruction, we guide them thru the process of how to develop, write, and present a lesson plan that conforms to state Law, Department policies, and procedures.

I have also developed, and updated over 150 lesson plans that are used both in the Academy and state-wide for staff. Ensuring these lesson plans maintain compliance with current Laws, established and approved policies, procedures, and directives.

"An excellent employee is no good to your team if they are not there to get the job done." I am a true believer in excellent attendance, and I am a recipient of the “Exemplary Attendance” Award.

I am a real, tested, and validated leader. I have proven my willingness to jump into troubled waters to save drowning victims. I believe in leadership thru Respect, Integrity, and guidance by example. I reject the “Do as I say, Not as I do” mentality.

I am an excellent and engaging speaker, I can speak on a variety of topics, in all venues, and to all crowds. I am seeking and will accept speaking engagement opportunities. Inquiries are encouraged and welcome.
