Deputy Sheriff from 2013-2015. State Trooper from 2015 to present. State Trooper academy instructor at one of the largest state police organizations in the United States. Competitive Martial Artist since 2005. Defensive tactics instructor for military and civilian Law Enforcement since 2007.

​

As a Combat Hapkido practitioner since 2005, a sworn deputy sheriff from 2013 to 2015, and a state police trooper since 2015, I can attest to this deficiency in defensive tactics.

​

As an academy instructor at one of the largest state police agencies in the United States, it has been my job to take individuals with no defensive tactics training to a level necessary for survival.

​

With the continuing trend of decreasing training budgets, police agencies throughout the world need a reliable and affordable alternative to overpriced defensive tactics training that relies heavily on the use of the “tools” on an officers’ belt.

​

It is my goal to continue the excellent work started by GM Pellegrini by continuing to conduct high quality training and personal service the IPDTI as always provided.

If your martial arts school is interested in conducting a certification/recertification course or if you are looking to have your local police department take a “test” drive, please do not hesitate to contact me IPDTIHQ@gmail.com
