He not only accomplished all 3, he made the certification level of MCIWS Instructor Trainer (a level less than .1% of the Marine Corps holds), was selected to run the Water Survival School on Parris Island, SC and competed on the Triathlon team at the Armed Forces Championships in 2017.
After serving
It was while running the Water Survival School that he began studying Performance Psychology. The mental and emotional factors of water survival led numerous individuals to fail these events.
