With guidance from someone
who’s lived it.
Expert CFAI and CAAS accreditation consulting led by an Executive Fire Officer and active CPSE peer assessor — with 20 years of fire service experience behind every recommendation.
Your ConsultantChief Officer
The principal consultant at Apex Fire Consulting serves as a Chief Officer with a metro fire department, where a career has been built on advancing organizational excellence through accreditation and continuous improvement. As the department’s accreditation manager, the agency was led through the full CFAI accreditation process — and has since guided other agencies as an active CPSE peer assessor.
Holding the distinction of Executive Fire Officer (EFO) from the National Fire Academy, a Master of Science in Public Safety from Liberty University, and licensed as a paramedic — plus service on the FESSAM 11th Edition Steering Committee — this is someone who has helped shape the very standards fire agencies are measured against.
A proud U.S. Marine Corps veteran, the discipline, precision, and commitment to excellence that defines military service carries through every client engagement in the fire service.
