Jeff has taught seminars to multiple federal, state, and local law enforcement agencies, special operations personnel, and professional athletes all over the world.

Jeff served for more than 20 years as a full-time defensive tactics, firearms, and special response team instructor, providing low profile operator development training for the Nuclear National Security Administration (NNSA).

Zach’s personal use of the Rx style of lifting has produced multiple Kettlebell sport world record athletes, Master and International Master of Sport lifters, as well as high level athletes in a large range of strength and endurance sports. These results are not limited to the sporting arena, and Zach’s work is regularly used in the training of Military, Fire personal and LEO.
