Bio 

Throughout my military career, I was always the trainer. As an NCO, Senior NCO and Master Breacher Instructor in Ranger Regiment, through my time as an Aviation Unit Trainer and TACOPS Officer, I was given a gift of being able to training warfighters. I now take all of that knowledge and develop challenging, realistic training for the next generation of Special Operators. RLTW
