I just had the honor of finishing up 15 days of instruction with both the ICON Celebrity and VIP Protection Course and the Advanced Executive Protection course. It was 15 days of long hours and hard work. I could ONLY imagine what the students felt like! Here are some pictures of what went down!

Elijah Shaw is a friend and mentor of mine in this industry. He actually assigned me my first Executive Protection detail way back in the day. I still turn to him for advice and continuing training. He is the tip of the spear in the bodyguard game! And those of us that know him; we know he is a HUGE movie fan… So I couldn’t help but borrow this from him: (click the link to his blog)
Until next time,

Training and teaching are huge passions of mine. I take what I do very seriously. I am blessed with the opportunity to assist Elijah Shaw in his 10 day advanced executive protection course. In this class students learn advance skills from vehicle drills to advances. The course goes deep into operating in high risk environments and takes their weapons skills to a whole new level… Check the course description out at Icon Advanced Executive Protection Course.
This class is second to none if you want take your training to the next level!

Looking at my older posts it seems to be a reoccurring theme! I’m a trainer and a passion of mine is teaching so it goes hand in hand, NATURALLY! Icon Celebrity and VIP Protection course kicks off today and I wanted to give thumbs up to Elijah Shaw and Justin Newcomb for running a great course. (I’m lucky enough to be blessed to come down and show the students a few firearms related skills!)
If you are looking to get in the business or refresh some skill this is the place to look! I will be keep everyone posted on what’s to come and maybe a few updates as this progresses…
Stay Safe.
