Power grids fail. Supply chains break. Medical help takes time to arrive. The question isn't if something will challenge your family — it's when.

Licensed Professional Engineer. Eagle Scout. Husband to Katie since 2010 and father to four kids. In 2023, someone tried to break into his family's RV while they slept inside—and he realized he had no plan, no training, and no way to protect them.
That night sparked a three-year obsessive journey across multiple disciplines. The Primal Defender framework is the result—built in practice, not theory, and now shared through live events, private advisory work, and a growing community of families on the same path.
