How we got started
The future of corporate safety

With over 27 years of combined experience as a Naval Combat Medic (FMF Corpsman), Occupational Medicine Clinic Manager, Medical Sciences Instructor, HSE Professional, and Corporate Security Officer, I’ve developed a deep, practical understanding of health and safety from the ground up.

In 2016, as the oil and gas industry contracted, I recognized a gap: many small businesses couldn’t justify the cost of a full-time safety manager. So I built a streamlined, automated system to help organizations manage safety training and compliance efficiently—keeping employees protected and costs down. Whether used to enhance an existing program or serve as a turnkey solution, this system simplifies safety without compromising standards.
