With nearly twenty-five years in Law-Enforcement, and an additional five years in executive protection, Joe has dedicated his life to guarding the vulnerable.
His whole career he has sought out training opportunities to prepare himself physically and mentally for various types of threats. With one goal: being confident and competent to protect the ones he loves and those around him.
He has a true passion for passing on his firsthand, real world, training and experience, to anyone and everyone who has the desire to learn.
Joe has more than twenty years of teaching experience, both in and out of the classroom, and he understands the dynamics related to personal learning styles, and he excels at providing common sense training in an unexpected and enjoyable way.




Joe wants you to know…
“In law enforcement we have a mantra: ‘If it doesn’t feel right! Fix it! Do something!’
Fixing it requires you to make a decision, to take action.
If you want to get training on basic safety, act on that, don’t hesitate.
If you want to increase your skill set, you need to do it. With me, or with another trainer, but I strongly encourage you to follow that instinct.
When you are ready to take the next steps in your self preparedness and self defense journey, I’d be privileged to be the guy you call.
But don’t walk away from the idea, saying, ‘Next year’ or ‘We’ll see.” Take action. And find someone who has a true passion to empower you.”
