        My Background

        I've been an avid outdoorsman since my early teens, and my passion for adventure led me to

Fast-Roping

Fast- Roping is like sliding down a 90 ft Firemans Pole out of the back of a helicopter. We perfected this technique to deploy a squad of 13 operators to the ground in less than 7 seconds.

    Corrections/ Law enforcement

I retired from a career in Corrections with the state of New York.

The following is a list of highlights from beginning to retirement.


-10 years of maximum-security experience to include

 Working at the infamous 'Sing-Sing'

 Correctional Facility

 &

a Super- max- 'Upstate Correctional Facility' known to house some of the most violent felons and escape artists in the U.S.


-8 years as a team member of the Corrections version of SWAT, known as CERT (Corrections Emergency Response Team)


After 10 plus years of distinguished service I took a position at a drug treatment campus.

Upon completion of The Shock Incarceration Training Program, I became a 'Drill Instructor' in Shock.


I was selected to become a Staff Instructor and trained Officers on Military Drill & Ceremony Physical Training & various components of the Shock Program in a 4-week school environment for staff to eventually become 'Drill Instructors'.


From this position, I was selected to be a

 'Drill Instructor' at 'Albany Training Academy' training entry level recruits to become Correction Officers in an 8-week training academy.


At the Training Academy the duties of 'Drill Instructor' included teaching

 Drill & Ceremony, Daily Physical Training, Uniform & appearance, Hands-on classroom instruction & various components of Security and Programming in a correctional setting.

The Drill Instructor was responsible for running a highly regimented program instilling discipline & teamwork within the recruits in their charge.


I retired from the position of Drill Instructor after training thousands of Officers for the state of New York.



    Working with a group of new Recruits.


'Discipline is not punishment, it is meeting a standard of behavior.'
