About
Eric Covey
Founder. Writer. Trainer. Operator.
I have spent most of my life studying people, behavior, systems, and what happens beneath the surface.
I grew up on a sixty-acre horse farm in Augusta, Kentucky. Martial arts became an early influence and taught me discipline, awareness, restraint, and the value of preparation.
Later, I worked for years in surveillance, loss prevention, investigations, leadership, sales, and field operations. That work sharpened my ability to observe patterns, document clearly, make decisions, and work with people under pressure.
Over time, I began building my own projects.
