Although I’m retired, I just want to remind you that I thoroughly enjoy all of your books, and the many seminars that I have attended where you educate officers and civilians, and in my opinion, forewarn them of things to come and how to prevent such bad things from happening.

Everything from your advice on how to deal with stress and combat to how to “Stop Teaching our Kids to Kill” and the psychology surrounding video games and media violence. I took it all in and I am better because of it. But most importantly, I wish the world would have listened to you. Because you were spot on and 100% right about what was yet to come. You predicted the future based on your experience and your observations. From my first seminar 2000 or 2001.

I believe when you said these mass shootings are in our elementary schools and high schools. You predicted that this generation of kids would grow to be in colleges, workplaces and in our society and the mass shootings would continue to those entities and beyond. If only people would have listened to you. I did, and I’m wiser for it.

I’m always watching people 6’s and I pray as a retired police officer that people will have my six as well. Thank you again for everything and I will stay engaged in your future books, and seminars and as long as I can! Thanks again!

It was midnight this past weekend and I was to escort the keynote speaker from the airport to our hotel. Little did I know, that drive in those early morning hours would become a moment in my life of profound importance.
Col. Dave Grossman w/ @grossmanontruth & Johnny Strickland w/ @protectwithbear asked me about a recent tragic law enforcement encounter that I survived.

The three of us had a 40 minute drive and I shared the painful details with these honorable men. Col. Grossman leaned forward in the back passenger seat the entire time actively listening to every word I spoke as Johnny sat next to me in support. The Colonel squeezed my shoulder as a coach would, and shared words in private that changed me.

As brothers in faith in His Kingdom, Johnny and Col. Grossman have left a lasting impression in my life. These are the men that direct souls to Him; these are the men to measure oneself to. Love will always defeat evil as long as good men such as them are willing to represent something bigger than themselves.
