About The Author
Experience Tested, Faith Guided.
Christopher Mitchel’s life has been shaped by challenge, growth, and service. As a young man, he worked with his parents’ church bus ministry before going down a difficult path that pulled him into crime and violence. A turning point pushed him to change direction, and he chose a career in security. He worked in maximum-security prisons, served with the Sedgwick County Sheriff’s Department, and later trained and served in the United States Marine Corps.
Over the years, he gained skills in counter-terrorism, urban warfare, martial arts, and advanced security tactics. More than a career, security became his calling. Through faith and discipline, Christopher now shares his knowledge to help others prepare, protect, and lead with confidence.
