As the founder of Megapod Networking LLC, I specialize in emergency planning, training, and exercises for local, state, and federal agencies — including the U.S. military. My work includes extensive instruction in the Incident Command System (ICS) and emergency operations center management, delivered to both civilian and military audiences. I’ve trained Army personnel across multiple states and international bases, helping bridge the gap between uniformed and civilian emergency response frameworks. Qualified in the State of Florida as an Incident Commander (IC), Planning Section Chief (PSC), and Operations Section Chief (OSC), I focus on practical solutions, interagency integration, and preparing teams to lead effectively under pressure. Whether it's updating EOC plans, conducting THIRA/SPR assessments, or facilitating cyber and active shooter exercises, I help agencies and installations plan smarter, train better, and respond stronger. “My job is to tell you things you don’t want to hear, ask you to spend money you don’t have, on something you don’t think will happen Outside of work: Cubs fan. Coffee loyalist. Proud husband, father, and grandfather.
