Biography and Expertise

As a seasoned sport event security expert and higher education professional, I specialize in safeguarding stadiums, venues, and arenas through a comprehensive enterprise approach to risk management, crisis response, and operational security. With extensive experience in both academia and industry, I am committed to preparing the next generation of sports security leaders to navigate the evolving challenges of securing global sporting events.

I currently serve as a remote learning adjunct instructor with Johnson and Wales University where I develop and deliver innovative, competency-based curricula for undergraduate and graduate students. My courses integrate enterprise security risk management, real-world case studies, after-action reports, lessons learned and emerging industry best practices to foster critical thinking and problem-solving skills in an asynchronous digital learning environment.
