Tammy spent 13 years in child welfare, ending as a Kansas state child abuse investigator. She worked three years in mental health at a maximum-security prison. That experience showed her something clear: protective orders don't protect anyone. They're paperwork for prosecutors to use after the fact.
That reality led her to get a handgun for personal protection. But finding someone to teach her took three years. So she built Red Brick Road Training to make sure nobody else gets lost trying to learn.
