CEO, Defencify Online Training for Security Officers
Russ is a 15-year, guarding alumni who creates and delivers high-quality online courses for state licensing and training on-demand. Guard companies love working with him because he understands first-hand their pain points and they appreciate his solutions-based approach to training which is not one size fits all. Security schools love working with Russ because he uses today’s tech to help expand their reach and bring them into the 21st century. Licensing agencies lean on Russ’ experience and know-how to modernize and improve state training mandates.
Russ has an economics degree from UC Santa Cruz and he is board certified through ASIS. He previously served as chair for ASIS, Utah Chapter, and he served as chairman of Utah’s security licensing board. He is the CEO and founder of Defencify Training which offers guard companies a “brandable” LMS, custom course development, and an extensive library of interactive online courses created specifically for front-line security staff.
At Defencify Training, we're obsessively passionate about creating and delivering interactive, online courses that satisfy regulatory training mandates, company mandates, and client requirements. Our training platform can be customized with our client's branding, settings, users, and content library. Employees enjoy 24/7 access, courses that are optimized for mobile devices, engaging (& fun) content, and downloadable completion certificates. Administrators benefit from automatic assignment of content, automated emails, cloud records management, and powerful reporting. As a result, security companies can hire more people, train them (consistently) better, and get them through the licensing process quicker.
