Born and raised in Oregon, Shawn spent most of his early life involved in hunting and fishing and martial arts training, teaching and competitions.
By 1985, Shawn was teaching full time to raise his family and part of his time included small arms defensive training and teaching street defensive tactics to Law Enforcement and Security personnel.
By the early 90s, Shawn was performing these duties full time and also had accessed further training and experience with opportunities to work in the fields of Private Contract Security, eventually including, but not limited to, Executive and Personal Protection and Security Services with Private, State and Federal agencies.
With 30 years of practical experience and a personal commitment to a belief, that there is a huge difference between attending a training session that was fun, and experiencing training that was not only enjoyable, but also allows the
student to aquire new skills that will be taken with them and most importantly, repeated correctly, at any time, on their own.
"I believe that our job as instructors is to use
our skills to help people who have chosen to be
responsible, AND, that there is no greater responsibility than protecting our families at home, our freedoms, our country and those who serve and protect us in our communities and abroad"
"At R.E.A.C.T. Training Systems, it is not about what we have done, it is all about what we can do for you"
