Essentially, he provides security efforts and guidance for varied clients to protect their assigned resources-personnel, equipment, and inventory.
Although, Larry is not a martial arts instructor, he is both a proponent and practitioner of Pressure Points Tactics & Control (PPTC) and also an unarmed private security officer instructor for the States of TN, FL, OR, and WA. He is a law enforcement and private security officer instructor for less lethal options as OC/OC Blends, collapsible and straight batons (old school riot sticks), Kubaton basics, Tactical Flashlight and of course the DEFENDER.
