I am a Personal Safety Expert, author, and host of the radio show and podcast, Safety Talk. I have made it my mission to improve personal safety. My extensive experience as an IT security consultant, martial arts & self-defense instructor, and public safety professional allow me to provide practical, actionable solutions to today's threats no matter where they come from.

I have been helping clients and students learn how to protect themselves for over 20 years from all types of online and offline threats to their personal safety and security.

I am also able to educate your school or organization on a wide variety of safety and security-related topics that will immediately enhance the safety and security of students, teachers, parents, visitors and administrators.

I have spoken on stage before large audiences, and have been on national media programs regarding my expertise on personal safety. I have been quoted in and written articles for major publications including the NY Post, Washington Post, USA Today and others.

I am also a martial arts master (5th Dan) and have been studying the martial arts for over 20 years. Over the years I have trained thousands of men, women and children of all ages in physical and mental self-defense techniques through my classes, workshops and seminars.

Through my IT consulting company, PJC Services, I have been keeping my clients' systems, networks and accounts safe since 1995. I have also worked as a university public safety professional keeping students safe from harm. Finally, I am certified by the Pennsylvania State Police as an Act 235 Lethal Weapons Certified Agent in Pennsylvania, and I am also certified in First Aid, CPR, AED use and naloxone administration.

I have been helping my clients secure their systems and networks from all types of security threats through my information technology company since 1995.

The landscape of IT security and cybersecurity is constantly changing and evolving; I have witnessed an alarming increase in threats and an equally alarming resistance to implement effective solutions. Companies must secure their systems and their data from both outside attacks and internal threats.

As a consultant who has been actively working in this field for over 20 years, I am able to bring awareness to the latest cyber-threats as well as provide the most current solutions to many different types of cybersecurity flaws found in many of today's corporations - both large and small.

My experience allows me to provide practical, actionable solutions to today's threats so your company is protected!

Every day we witness a new type of threat to today's workers and the companies they work for. Disgruntled and former employees can pose serious threats to workplace safety. Random or targeted threats from deranged individuals are another factor to consider when working to improve the safety and security of your employees. Vendors and contractors have employee turnover and enter your business all the time. How do you know if one will decide to resort to random violence? The answer is - you don't.

I have been helping others learn how to protect themselves for over 20 years from all types threats to their personal safety and security. There are various physical threats that exist depending upon your physical location where you are - at home, at work, at school, in your car, at the store, the bank, etc.

In addition, there are the various physical positions you may be in such as sitting, standing, walking, lying down, driving and others. Each of these has potential security risks associated with it.

The time to prepare is before the need arises! Get educated and prepared so that you employees know what to do when a problem occurs. It is not a matter of IF, but a matter of WHEN.
