ABOUT
Anyone Not Ready's founders have diverse backgrounds and over half a century of experience managing complex multidisciplinary problems in emergent situations. Brought together by their desire to rescue those in need as members of a mountain search and rescue team, the founders soon discovered a greater calling to provide life-saving and problem-solving training to others.
Having proven their abilities from the battlefields of Iraq and Afghanistan to the highest peaks of the Rocky Mountains and beyond, each brings their leadership, medical, rescue, and tactical experiences to every aspect of the creation, planning, and execution of the training and courses offered.
