“I was first trained with the practices shared in his teachings when I led the twenty-person security department for Gregg at the Shark Club.  During my 5+ years employed by Gregg, these principles allowed me, as well as the club, to avoid civil and criminal penalties that occur all too frequently in nightclubs and bars .  These penalties could potentially arise from numerous violations such as allowing minors entrance, over-serving alcohol, and ineffective conflict resolution with intoxicated patrons (e.g., an arrest for battery and/or a lawsuit). 

 I transitioned from security and subsequently worked as a California police officer in an inner-city district, which had a high propensity for violence.   As well as being a field training officer for fifteen years,  I eventually taught at a regional police academy, where similar prevention-oriented practices I first learned from Gregg are part of the curriculum.  I have trained approximately 700 recruits and many of them have attained the rank of sergeant and lieutenant.  I strongly encourage security professionals to attend the Security Workshop to further their knowledge of their chosen field or as an aid in their transition to law enforcement."
