About Leo
Leo is a multi-faceted person with a diversity of knowledge, skills, education and training. Through a series of unexpected and urgent response situations, he has cultivated an enhanced awareness of himself, the environment, and trained himself to respond quickly, calmly and efficiently to a wide range of potential challenges and threats. In his early years, he also began extensive training in a diversity of martial arts and self-defence. As an adult he was trusted with body-guarding, cash-guarding and conducted training for both the RCMP and Canadian Military. His teachers have been of the highest caliber, descendant of Masters such as Bruce Lee, or a Commando in the British Royal Marines. Professionally, he is adept at numerous trades for oil and gas industries, working over two decades as a journeyman welder, steamfitter, heavy equipment operator, rope access technician and more. He is grounded, practical and amicable, a character of strength, confidence and aptitude.
By nature, he is a protector of the people and his passion lies in educating and empowering them to develop their alertness, readiness and adaptability to rapidly changing and uncertain times. His unique peace of mind has been hard won over time, and it is in large part due to his “prepper’s mind set”, equipped with broad spectrum of knowledge of various life and survival skills. He is ready to pass his knowledge and training on to support communities anywhere and everywhere as he sees imminent need now.
