About the Instructor

The trajectory of Keith’s career in education changed on October 1st, 2015 when a gunman in Roseburg, OR entered an English classroom at Umpqua Community College and opened fire on his classmates. At the time, Keith had been a classroom English teacher for more than 20 years, and his classroom was on a community college campus. The similarity between the Umpqua classroom and his own was too obvious to ignore.

Building on his passion for martial arts and self-defense training, he began to study the active shooter phenomenon. Now in his 30th year in the classroom, Keith has spent nearly nine years researching active shooter events. Most important, he has studied mass shooting prevention, shooter intervention, and after-action recovery. As he approaches retirement from classroom instruction, helping to protect students and school personnel through education and training has become his new life’s work.
