I’m Byron Rodgers, and I founded Protector Nation to make the world safer by teaching good people how to become more capable and prepared. Drawing on my experience in executive protection and tactical research, I created open-access training for everyone—from single parents to law enforcement professionals. My mission is to empower you with hard-skill self-defense techniques so you can live confidently, knowing you’re ready for any situation.

Protector Nation combines structured online courses with an inclusive global community of like-minded protectors. You’ll engage in monthly live-stream workshops led by subject-matter experts and access on-demand Civilian Protector online training modules. With peer support and one-on-one consultation options, you’ll continually refine your skills and stay prepared for emergencies.
