Dear Public Safety Professional,

Perspective is an amazing thing....

Working in EMS part time and having a career in Sports Medicine / Athletic Training full time has allowed me a unique look at our profession.

The decision to write this book has been and continues to be fueled by the friends I have made over the years while responding to calls. Over the past 8 years of running calls as a Paramedic I have witnessed some amazing things and worked with some really unique partners.

I have had the privilege of meeting some great police/fire/medics over the years. Sharing in the stress, fear and emotion of the situations we found ourselves in the bonds formed and friendships forged under pressure will last forever.

Being around this diverse group of professionals has allowed me to see a great variety of ‘issues’ with people in public safety.

When I speak of 'issues' I am referring of course to issues with health, wellness, nutrition, stress and exercise. I could no longer sit quietly aside while watching co-workers bodies deteriorate and fail from lack of care, improper exercise and over / under use.

Throughout my career I have had countless Officers, Fire Fighters and Medics come to me for advice and guidance. Unfortunately by the time many of them contacted me their bodies were already damaged.
