I am enthusiastic about passing on life-saving knowledge and skills I have gained from answering numerous fire and medical emergency calls. I realize the importance of knowing CPR, first aid, and fire safety and hope to better prepare all who attend our classes by providing real hands-on experience. Great quality instruction using the best training materials results in a better-prepared public, increasing patient survival and decreasing injury and loss of life from fire.
Safety Consulting / Hazardous Materials Instructor
Steve started out in the fire service in 1991 and worked hard through all the ranks up to the Fire Chief position. Steve will be the first to tell you that running calls, training, and mentoring the younger generation is what makes the fire service fun and rewarding.
In 2002, Steve got the itch to learn more about Hazardous Materials. He dedicated the rest of his career to learning about hazardous materials, responding to hazmat releases, and keeping others safe from chemical responses. Steve has witnessed many close calls in his career, heard about numerous, and has also seen the devasting effects on others due to them getting injured while dealing with chemicals.
Steve has responded as a firefighter, hazmat contractor, and an industry professional to all levels of hazmat responses. Steve has a vast knowledge of different chemical types and response plans but will be the first to tell you this; “if you ever meet a hazmat expert, RUN the other way”. There are NO experts in Hazmat.
Steve also has an extensive safety background and has been involved in Health and Safety for nearly 20 years. Respiratory protection, emergency response, fire response, medical response, and Incident Command is what he specializes in. You will find Steve’s classes realistic, practical, energetic, and fun and at the end of the course you will walk away with the tools needed to keep you and your crews safe from injuries or death.

Safety Consulting / Hazardous Materials & NIMS Incident Command Instructor
Grant served in the Fire Service for Portland Fire & Rescue, from 1975 through 2012 and filled positions including Training Captain, Chief Safety Officer, Strategic Planning BC, liaison to both Portland Police and the Portland Airport Fire Department, and Chief of the State Hazardous Materials Response Team. Grant was also one of the first Fire Chiefs to become certified as a Radiation Specialist.
His undergrad education was in biochemistry at Lewis and Clark College and that served him well in his 40 years of teaching in the Fire Science department of Portland Community College. During his 10 years leading the busiest State Hazmat Team in Oregon, Grant has not only managed hundreds of various complicated and dangerous chemical incidents but has taught his wealth of knowledge to thousands of first responders in this country and all over the globe. He also has traveled the country as an adjunct instructor with FEMA in such subjects as NIMS ICS, Incident Safety Officer, and Structural Collapse Incidents.
As a consultant and product ambassador for Teledyne FLIR in Wilsonville, Oregon, Grant designed their FLIR PRIMED hazmat and emergency management online education series (his over 30 episodes can be seen on YouTube) and led “tool talk” sessions at conferences around the USA.
Grant is well known not only for his expertise and experience but for his style of “drilling down” to the essence of this issue through the use of stories, videos, and demos. He focuses on the art and science of situational awareness and team crisis decision-making. His classes are engaging, interesting, relevant, and interactive – a real learning experience.
