What is After Action Living?

My approach to risk and security was forged in some of the most demanding environments on earth. I began my career in the Navy as a SEAL, where complex, high-risk operations such as open and closed circuit diving, skydiving, tactical driving, demolitions, and dynamic live-fire ranges all demanded precise planning and an unforgiving attention to detail. Every operation carried real consequences, and that ingrained in me a deep respect for disciplined risk assessment and clear, actionable decisions.

​

My knowledge continued to expand when I transferred to the Army pursuing a career as a MEDEVAC helicopter pilot. In that world, no flight happens without a deliberate review of every facet of the flight.  The aircraft, crew, weather, route, threats, and contingencies and much more are all taken into consideration before wheels ever left the ground.  Over thousands of hours in both training and real-world operations, I learned how to break down complex situations, identify what can go wrong, and put practical controls in place before operations ever began.

​

Today, I bring that same operational discipline to organizations and small businesses looking to reduce risk and improve safety in the real world. I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Criminal Justice, am certified in ISO 31000 Risk Management, and am a certified CPTED (Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design) practitioner, aligned with ISO 22341. In plain terms: I help you see the risks you’re missing across your processes, people, and physical spaces and give you clear, prioritized steps to create safer, more resilient environments that align with international best practice.
