I'm originally from Charlotte and have lived in Raleigh since 1972. I have a BA in Business Administration and an AAS in Emergency Medical Medicine. I worked for the NC Division of Prisons for 30 years and retired in 2002. I worked in Custody, Security, Diagnostics, Classification and was a Criminal Justice Instructor. I have studied and interviewed many thousands of criminals and have unique insight into criminal behavior. I have taught firearms and CCH since 2002. I have been teaching Martial Arts and Unarmed Self-Defense since 1990 and have four Black Belts in three styles of Martial Arts. After retirement worked as a Paramedic and taught Health Care Provider at UNC-CH and Duke Medical Schools, and Nursing schools, as well as basic CPR and First Aid and the firearms classes.
