Upcoming Classes

Crew Resource Management

I developed my Crew Resource Management (CRM) course after participating in programs offered by the U.S. Air Force and U.S. Coast Guard. My first exposure to CRM came as a private pilot, when it was known as Cockpit Resource Management. The core lessons — teamwork, communication, and collaborative problem-solving under pressure — are universally valuable. This course explores the principles of CRM through the analysis of major accidents and incidents, helping participants understand how effective teamwork can prevent errors and improve outcomes. I have taught this program to healthcare professionals in emergency medical services as part of their continuing education, as well as to recreational students who engage in overland and adventure travel.

Incident Command and Disaster Response classes

I have extensive experience teaching courses in Incident Command and Emergency Management, with a focus on helping organizations strengthen their ability to coordinate and respond effectively during emergencies. I am qualified to teach Incident Command System (ICS) 300 and 400, which provide advanced training in command, control, and coordination for complex incidents. In addition, I instruct the Homeland Security Exercise and Evaluation Program (HSEEP) course and Exercise Design workshops, guiding participants in developing, conducting, and evaluating effective exercises. I have also taught specialized courses on ICS/EOC Interface and Emergency Operations Center (EOC) Operations, helping agencies improve communication and decision-making between field and coordination centers. My goal in all these programs is to translate theory into practical, real-world readiness.

Introduction to radios and radio systems

I teach a variety of communications-focused classes designed to help people better understand and use radio systems in both practical and engaging ways. One of my introductory programs explains the differences between radio services such as GMRS and Amateur Radio, helping hobbyists choose the best option for their interests and needs. I also lead hands-on workshops that focus on effective communication and teamwork, using creative activities like building LEGO structures by radio or playing Battleship with Morse code. These interactive exercises make learning fun and memorable while reinforcing the importance of clarity, cooperation, and problem-solving in communication.

Stop the Bleed

Stop the Bleed is a nationally recognized program that teaches life-saving skills to control severe bleeding in emergencies. In just a short class, participants learn how to apply pressure, pack wounds, and use a tourniquet—simple actions that can make the difference between life and death. This training is valuable for anyone who wants to be prepared to help others, and it’s especially meaningful for those who are concerned about rising violence or unexpected injuries in their community. By learning these skills, you become part of the solution—ready to protect yourself, your family, and your neighbors when every second counts.

Epi Pen and Allergy training

I’m passionate about helping people feel confident and prepared to respond to allergic emergencies. Through my Red Cross EpiPen training and a specialized continuing education program for EMS providers, I teach the skills needed to recognize and treat anaphylaxis quickly and effectively. These classes go beyond the basics — they’re also ideal for youth program leaders, camp staff, and educators who want to make their programs more inclusive and accessible for children with food sensitivities or other allergies. My goal is to empower every participant to respond calmly, confidently, and compassionately when seconds matter most.
