THE FOUNDER

In 2007, I set out to create a source of self-protection with the intention of offering the simplest path to practical skill. Since then, with the same mindset, it’s evolved into a design and survival consultancy.

I use 30 years of experience in systems thinking and design thinking, as well as over 33 years of personal protection and specialized survival training to create the Radius Factor concept. Multiple fields of study and methods are integrated to uniquely identify, define and creatively solve a problem—it’s all design.

Today, the integration ranges from preparedness, self-protection and fitness to the design of products, training programs and experiences that enhance capability and survivability.

This multi-perspective process helps regular Joes develop preparedness, situational awareness, strategic decision-making, and protection skills. For military, law enforcement and security professionals, the training is focused on supercharging their senses with specialized edged/impact weapons and combatives training.

Ultimately, collaborating within a network of strategic partners to keep operations lean and nimble, Radius Factor is able to offer an effective interdisciplinary resource for training and strategic consulting.

If you think you’d be a valuable element to the Radius Factor mission and vision, and you’d like to be a part of the network, let’s talk.
