Crisis Management Expert | Consultant | Public Safety Leader
With more than 34 years of service as a Battalion Chief with the Los Angeles Fire Department and extensive experience coordinating crisis management at the national level, I have dedicated my career to protecting communities, guiding organizations through emergencies, and building resilient teams.
I’ve commanded responses to some of the most complex and high-risk incidents.
—fires, hazardous materials, active shooter situations, aviation accidents, large-scale wildfires, 911 system failures, and National Special Security Events including presidential inaugurations and state funerals.
My expertise spans crisis communications, interagency coordination, continuity of operations, and building crisis-ready teams across government and private sectors.
I provide organizations with the tools and strategies to recognize, respond, and resolve emergencies effectively. From developing crisis management plans and mutual-aid agreements to training executives and crisis teams, my mission is to ensure preparedness, resiliency, and operational excellence.
