Lt. Col. Dave Grossman
US Army Ranger and best-selling author

The Bulletproof Mind

Army Ranger, former West Point psychological professor, best-selling author, expert witness, and consultant, Lt. Col. Dave Grossman speaks on psychological preparation for physical conflict. How do soldiers and law enforcement personnel learn to make correct decisions in the heat of the moment? And in these days of increasing violence in our cities and neighborhoods, how can we improve our reaction if faced with potential danger?

ABOUT OUR SPEAKER: In their description of Lt. Col. Dave Grossman, Slate Magazine said, “Grossman cuts such a heroic, omnicompetent figure, he could have stepped out of a video game.” He has five patents to his name, has published four novels, two children’s’ books, and six non-fiction books to include his “perennial bestseller” On Killing (with over half a million copies sold), and a New York Times best-selling book co-authored with Glenn Beck.

He is a US Army Ranger, a paratrooper, and a former West Point Psychology Professor. He has a Black Belt in Hojutsu, the martial art of the firearm, and has been inducted into the USA Martial Arts Hall of Fame.
