I have over 15 years’ experience gained, in various aspects of the security field from around the world whilst working with multi-national and international security force teams. I completed various international appointments over the last 9 years working in high threat environments in Iraq, Afghanistan, Lebanon, South Africa, Zimbabwe, and Mozambique.
I have completed various extensive operations in:
• Personal Security Detail
• Convoy Protection
• V.I.P Protection
• Body guarding
• Close Protection Ops
• Family Protection (client, wife and children)
As certified Canine Trainer I have trained K9’s for:
• EDD - Explosive Detection Dogs
• NDD - Narcotic Detection Dogs
• MDD - Mine Detection Dogs
I have managed to build a very good track record for development and implementation of various resource initiatives. I am very punctual and my work is consistent. I have acquired very good interpersonal communication- and organisational skills through co-ordinating and controlling various multi-disciplined multi national teams. The latter has also proven my ability to lead and motive my team, and to ensure ultimate task performance.
