To whom it may concern;

It takes seasoned expertise to support the day-to-day security functions for any entity. Training, coordinating, and implementing the people, systems and resources in this capacity is what I have been doing for 20+ years. My expertise stems from international security and patrol assignments within the Canadian Forces (CF), alongside a global security service I administer. As I am in the process of exiting the military, I am eager to support your organizational need for security or any other services. The attached résumé outlines the full scope of my CF career

My career to date is hallmarked by being a stable and perceptive professional who handles security management in combat zones, high threat areas, and extremely demanding environments. This is underscored by my meticulous regard for detail, procedural adherence, confidentially assurance, and unwavering follow through. Specifically I am regarded as a fit and dedicated professional who:

 Expertly facilitates the full scope of security needs including staff training / supervision, facility protection, site surveys, routine and visitor screening, and the associated technology monitoring and reporting systems.
 Offers a host of specialized training qualifications from the Canadian Military, as well as Canadian police services, the Executive Protection Institute, and Heckler-Koch, Sterling, both in Winchester, Virginia.
 Regularly works with individuals from diverse backgrounds with particularly strong political and cultural knowledge of Afghanistan and the Middle East.
 Conducts quick and accurate information collection and analysis procedures to identify potential threats and dangers.
 Maintains excellent physical condition and has no health or stress issues, thus allowing for sustained high level of physical and mental stamina over long periods time in demanding operations.
 Leverages effective briefing, writing and negotiation skills.
 Routinely manages countless overlapping priorities, safety concerns, administrative functions, and regulatory details without hampering service standards.

Serving in the military has been very rewarding and I am a highly valued member of that organization. The time is right for me to focus solely on my company and how it can meet the needs of Canada’s security landscape. Please use any of the contact data listed above to request further information or to establish a convenient time to schedule a phone or personal interview. In looking forward to this opportunity, I thank you for your time.
