About Rigging Lab Academy
“For over 2 decades, we have been assisting and guiding officers, chiefs, directors, and managers through the maze of technical rope rescue program building and training and it started for the same reason as everyone else… I was lost and needed help”.
“A few amazing friends took me aside and helped me understand this vast world of rigging and rescue and it was through this struggle we developed the Blueprint for success and have been following it ever since in the development of our courses and strategies.”

While many of the challenges within the fire service, law enforcement, Search and Rescue, as well as general industry have battles with toxic leadership, internal strive, budget constraints, and a lack of buy-in… it can feel like a “survival” cry just to get something done. We get it. A feeling of lost or failing aspects of the “requirements of the service” is daunting… but not impossible to overcome.
It will get better and we can help. Maybe move a mountain or two!
