The United States is slowly starting to invest in Community Violence Intervention strategies. I've been doing the work for over 30 years and have taught it at university level. I've successfully started two Offices of Violence Prevention and trained hundreds of school staff on best practices. There are several different violence prevention/intervention models across the country. I’ll help you choose or help custom design the correct one to increase public health and safety in your community, city or state.

Is your organization/agency struggling to implement violence prevention strategies? I’m here to help your staff, and department leads get the assistance they need.

Are you an elected official or a policy analyst seeking to draft and pass effective violence prevention policy? I can assist you with years of experience and expertise.

I'm an experienced professional speaker, subject matter expert for panels and/or media appearances, and trained facilitator in all things violence prevention related. I specialize in public health approaches and community led strategies.

You can be confident that I will inspire, train, and coach the people who matter to you and help inform your audiences.

I am an experienced, reliable, and credible expert in youth gangs, street gangs, and gang culture. I am a former gang member and former adjunct professor specializing in gun violence prevention, youth gang intervention and prevention. I've served as director of two major violence prevention offices in Colorado, a consultant with the US Attorney's Office, and I'm a research associate with the University of Colorado.

As a formerly incarcerated person with over 20 years of success since my release I know what it takes to beat the recidivism odds. I'm here as a resource to help others achieve my results through coaching, mentoring, and public policy design to support successful re-entry and redemption.

Everyone's safety and health relies in restoring trust and confidence in and building strong relationships with law enforcement. I'm a experienced facilitator who has spent 100s of hours training youth and community members in their rights and responsibilities and police officers in key aspects of adolescent development and de-escalation techniques when contacting youth.

I've organized, hosted, and facilitated multiple community/ law enforcement forums that have successfully improved relationships and increased trust between parties.
