About Us

Summit View Survival & Preparedness provides practical training in wilderness survival, emergency preparedness, and first aid. Our programs are designed to give individuals and families the skills and confidence to handle real-world situations—whether in the outdoors or during everyday emergencies.

We focus on straightforward, hands-on instruction that emphasizes what actually works when it matters most. The goal isn’t just knowledge—it’s capability.

At Summit View, we’re building a community of people who are prepared, self-reliant, and ready to take care of themselves and those around them.

I’m a Marine Corps infantry veteran, EMT, and instructor with a background rooted in service, discipline, and real-world problem solving. I founded Summit View Survival & Preparedness to help individuals and families build the skills and confidence needed to handle emergencies—whether in the wilderness or at home.

My experience spans military service, emergency medical training, and years of hands-on work in demanding environments. Throughout that time, one thing has remained constant: training matters more than gear, and preparation beats reaction every time.

After transitioning out of the military, I focused on building a life centered around family, service, and community. That drive led me to create a company where I can continue serving others—this time by teaching practical, applicable skills that can make a real difference when it counts.
