Your presentation was well received and I heard several comments saying it was easy to understand and provided useful safety information that could be used every day. One citizen said that he enjoyed you were so passionate about your belief on personal safety and therefore gave a wonderful presentation."

"Defense by Design," the name says it all. Jeff recently spoke at a local MOMS Club group and presented "The 10 Commandments for Parents". His information was uniquely catered to his audience and presented in a very personable way. As a parent with two small children and the owner of a consulting firm for first-time parents, I found Jeff's information invaluable. He balances a healthy dose of caution with the reminder that "most people are good and trusting". It is important, although not always easy, to remind our children of the good in others while keeping them safe and teaching them personal safety awareness. Jeff's insight and tips on what phrases and metaphors to use when talking to preschool children was enlightening and extremely helpful. Thank youJeff!
