- Bio:
- I am a thirteen year veteran of Everett Fire Department as a firefighter/paramedic. I have provided instruction to the entire department in the safe handling of combative patients. I am a Fire Engineering author and 2009 FDIC instructor on the subject of tactics for combative patients. I have taught these same tactics to students of the Harborview Paramedic Program in Seattle Washington as well as local EMS conferences to as many as 200 attendees. In the Army, I volunteered for 2nd Ranger Battalion and successfully completed the U.S. Army Ranger School. While serving, I provided hand to hand instruction, field first aid, survival and the use of squad and platoon tactics to privates all the way up to Generals including Commanders and Dignitaries from foreign countries.

I follow the principles covered in the position paper from the National Association of EMS Physicians(link below). While providing a foundation to work with, they lack the techniques and tactics that are essential to hands on restraint in the field. My classes and recommendations go beyond this to give crews the tools needed to physically manage the combative patient.
