Hi. My name is Owen (Patrick “Owen”). I’m 60 years of age retired from the New York State Police as well as being retired from Chief Security Officer for a luxury cruise line, and Director of Security at a high end resort in the Florida Keys. I spent approximately 30 years in the Law Enforcement/Security fields.
Currently I spend most of my time is Southeast Asia which does have an element of lawlessness in certain areas. So I believe these skills are beneficial to have.
I took the Combative fast course and was impressed with the common sense approach, and the simplicity, of your Self Defense tactics. So much so I signed up for the Elite course a couple of weeks later. I enjoy the additional physical training the course provides, as well as the boost in self-confidence which each lesson and training session.
The balance of my time I live in the Tampa, Florida area in a 55+ age park. Depending on my progress I have aspirations to become an Instructor and share my knowledge with my fellow seniors. Also, as the Internet has connected the world, maybe offer some on-line instruction as well. I have financial stability, but hey, extra income is always welcome. Especially if you earning it doing something you believe in and you are passionate about. Happy to be part of the Legion!
