Born and raised in London, I joined the Royal Marine Commando's (equivalent to USA Army Rangers) serving my first combat tour in Helmand Province, Afghanistan in 2010, and returning back to Afghanistan for a second tour in 2011. During my service, I lectured Commando units and Special Forces on a variety of war zone techniques like detainee handling, interrogation techniques and evidence gathering in kinetic environments.

After 7 years of service, I was honorably discharged and joined a private security team working within the USA and Caribbean. During this time, I earned a Master's degree (MSc) in Organisational Resilience and Security. I was then accepted as a member of the International Security Institute.

Whilst working in the private security sector, I met a group of jewelers in Orlando and discussed their business's risks and concerns. This sparked an interest in what role I could play in supporting these passionate people, and that was my introduction into jewelry industry. I have since been invited to a variety of trade shows and have become a member of CBG, IJO, Centurion, AGS and more under my company of HMH Consultants LLC.

HMH Consultants was formed in Houston Tx, as the American arm of the London-based company. It offers a range of security expertise such as Executive Protection, Surveillance and Anti-Surveillance, and the Physical and Cyber Assessments of high value clientele and premises. HMH is the only company that can combine physical security and mechanical engineering expertise with cyber security in a dual-Atlantic manner. For the Cyber and Digital Assessments, we perform web-based analyses aimed at identifying specific vulnerabilities and weak points within any website, as well as internal and external infrastructure assessments which accesses all links from the customer to the computer to prevent a hacker gaining access and opening the company to any number of cybercrimes. We also hold Cyber intelligence licences which enable HMH to search for, access and find company data breaches (business and personal) that are for sale or are being sold on the dark web to hackers and cyber criminals.

We know that security is not a one-off consideration and is evolving constantly as hackers and criminals get smarter and innovate new tools to find new ways to breach and damage businesses. We therefore keep to the beat of this change and offer continuity of care as well as provide education and awareness campaigns to help further support a company's security needs for both the seen (Physical) and unseen (Cyber) threats.

Our aim is make sure you don't leave the door unlocked physically or digitally!
