Dave became interested in C.O.B.R.A.™ Self Defense through his wife Cindi. She began selling Damsel in Defense personal protection products in 2016. Through her business, and after talking to hundreds of people, we realized there was a need for self defense training that goes beyond stun guns and pepper spray. As a police officer, Dave was continuously asked by his wife’s customers to share his knowledge and advise on safety. Dave began researching self defense organizations to affiliate his experience and knowledge with. He found that C.O.B.R.A.™ Self Defense was the very best program on the market.
