WHY: Everyday Defense & Wellness Coaching (EDC) was founded with the vison of confident to empowered families and communities living safer, healthier lives. I’ve realized that people in our communities, our neighbors, teachers, business owners and friends… Do not feel safe. I want to do everything I can to change that.

HOW: By integrating Personal Defense, Home Defense, Medical, and Well-being training programs paired with industry expert recommendations, EDC offers a comprehensive, holistic approach to a new lifestyle focused on strength, safety and resilience.

MISSION: Through accessible, affordable, and straightforward training, we aim to strengthen the foundation of our communities. Our upcomming monthly public classes throughout the Rochester, NY area will create opportunities for individuals and families to come together, learn essential skills, and enhance their collective competency in emergency situations.

BELIEF: We are all in this together, and together we can build a better, safer world for ourselves and for our children to inherit. At Everyday Defense & Wellness Coaching LLC, we believe that collective responsibility and shared commitment are essential to fostering environments where safety and well-being thrive.

Theron is a husband and father of four children with real world experience in firearms training, emergency preparedness, medical emergencies and children’s communication.

“As a former leader with the LEGO group I have extensive experience working with and communicating with children of all ages. I take my role as an instructor for kids and parents very seriously. I want my children to be as informed and safe as they can possibly be. Out in the real world they need essential skills to feel confident and knowledge so they can make their own informed decisions.

I am a former Emergency room technician, phlebotomist, operating room aide, EMT-B and disaster response team member for the Rochester area. As such I have seen, experienced and been on the teams that respond to real emergencies in this community. When I teach I always bring reality into the class so the skills you are learning are not just theories but practiced and applied techniques that can keep you, your kids and your community safe.

Since all of that I have earned my instructor certifications from multiple agencies in a variety of disciplines in an effort to bring quality content to this community and all of it’s members.

I am a United States Concealed Carry Association (USCCA) certified instructor for the Emergency First Aid Fundamentals, Children’s Firearms & Safety Fundamentals, and the Concealed Carry and Home Defense Fundamentals Program. In addition I am an NRA certified instructor for pistol basics which allows me the privilege to conduct the required safety course for concealed carry handgun applications in the state of New York.

I founded EDC with the goal of bringing a sense of true community back to the Rochester area. I believe we can do that together through shared learning experiences to enhance our collective skills and community events to consistently connect with one another.”
