Francois’ journey began in 2011 after a life-changing event when his mother was involved in a hijacking. This experience ignited a deep commitment in Francois to enhance his skills in self-defense and firearms training. Over the years, he has invested extensively in both accredited and non-accredited courses across various shooting disciplines.

Driven by a desire to empower others, Francois pursued Close Protection Officer (CPO) training to deepen his understanding and capability in personal protection. For Francois, nothing is more fulfilling than giving back to the community by equipping people with the skills and knowledge to respond effectively in critical situations.

He lives by the motto: "No help is coming; you need to be prepared to protect and preserve those you love." This philosophy is at the heart of his training sessions, where he dedicates himself to ensuring that every participant walks away more confident and capable in their ability to safeguard themselves and their loved ones.
