Hey Hero,

I am so excited to walk this journey with you as we strive to find your next career that will reward you for your experience, skills, and achievements. 

Let's get to work!

After endless applications and attempts at networking, I finally got my chance...

I was hired by a small tech firm in Northern Virginia to run their recruiting unit. In law enforcement, I had faced murderers, rapists, gang members, and countless horrific incidents... but the first few days in the private sector were almost as terrifying as those experiences. 

But I quickly found my footing and realized that many of my skills translate phenomenally well into the private sector. I was soon promoted to Director of a $30 million IT company. 

Since leaving the Thin Blue Line, I have dedicated my life to helping other Heroes with their career transitions. I draw from my years of experience in law enforcement and recruiting in the private sector to give my candidates a smoother and more successful path to the private sector... helping them avoid the many mistakes I made.

My company, Recruiting Heroes, has now helped over 700 Law Enforcement Officers & Veterans find amazing jobs in the private sector. The lessons I learned inspired me to write my best-selling book, Beyond the Thin Blue Line.

I am now excited to launch The Heroes Academy and The Heroes Community.

But All That Won't Be An Issue For You! Introducing....
