I have a diverse background which includes over sixteen years in the warehousing / purchasing field. During this time, I worked my way up from an entry level position to warehouse manager.
I also spent over thirty years in the emergency service and security fields. I served on mine rescue, police, fire, sheriff's posse and ambulance services during this time. I was a hotel security operations manager and chairman of a regional emergency response organization as well.
While in these positions, I shared responsibility for employee training. The training included new hire, safety and emergency response courses. I even developed some of the material used in these classes. This material was based in part on training I received through the following organizations:
Northwestern University's Traffic Safety Institute State Fire Marshal's Office Truckee Meadows Community College Nevada Safety Council Nevada Division of Mine Inspections (MSHA ) American Red Cross California Division of Forestry American Heart Association Arizona Law Enforcement Officer Advisory Council FEMA Nevada Highway Patrol Arizona Highway Patrol
I've since gone on to develop training workshops on various topics. These include workshops on security, safety and warehousing operations. I also have a workshop focusing on the financial liabilities associated with hiring contract laborers. Did you know for instance, you can be held financially liable for a actions of a contract laborer or security guard. Learn more about this topic by clicking on the "Course Synopsis" button below.
