About Me

I've worked in aviation security for 15 years, starting as a TSA screener and advancing into roles focused on global threat assessment and risk analysis. My background includes hands-on experience with passenger screening, cargo security protocols, and responding to emerging threats like cyber attacks on aviation systems. I'm passionate about sharing this knowledge to help professionals stay current and prepared.
In my teaching, I emphasize practical scenarios and real-world case studies to build actionable skills. Students learn to apply regulations like ICAO Annex 17, analyze risks from pre-flight to landing, and manage crises effectively. The goal is to equip them with tools they can use immediately in their jobs, grounded in up-to-date threat landscapes.
