A quiet, national authority on school safety.
Independent by choice. Evidence-based by principle. Trusted by schools, universities, and governments across the country.
Four decades of independent school safety work.
My work has been built on a simple conviction: school leaders deserve independent counsel unencumbered by products, vendors, or commercial interests. That commitment has shaped every engagement for more than 40 years.
I have advised boards, superintendents, presidents, heads of school, and senior administrators through routine planning, sensitive assessments, and moments of national attention. Regardless of scale, my approach stays the same: quiet, confidential, evidence-based analysis.
My aim is to help school leaders make safer, more defensible decisions for the students and staff they serve.
