BRIAN KLAWITER

Personal Protection Training

TacMed Operations

 

Brian brings over two decades of real-world emergency response and tactical experience to Trinity Tactical. At 45, he has dedicated his life to serving others and standing on the front lines when lives are on the line. From firefighting to advanced tactical medicine to law enforcement support, Brian has built his career under pressure—where training, mindset, and execution must be absolute.

 

From 1999 to 2021, Brian served as a Firefighter/Paramedic in downstate Michigan, working in both urban and rural high-call environments that sharpened his emergency response instincts. During the last decade of his Fire/EMS career, he served as a SWAT Medic—a role reserved for the most disciplined and capable medical professionals in tactical operations. Brian operated with multiple elite tactical units.

 

After retiring from full-time Fire/EMS service, Brian relocated with his wife to northern Michigan, where he continued his commitment to public safety. He joined the Sheriff’s Office as part of the Court Security Division, and was quickly selected to serve on the Dive Team due to his leadership and operational mindset. His dedication led to further specialization—he was sent to two separate Michigan DNR Police Academies, earning certifications in Recreation Law Enforcement.

 

Brian has invested heavily in sharpening his skills beyond the basics. He has completed over 1,000 hours of advanced firearms, tactical, and defensive training, traveling across the country to learn from top instructors and real-world professionals. His focus includes firearms proficiency, tactical medical response, structure clearing, high-risk response, and personal defense. He also integrates combative training into his skillset, actively training in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu to strengthen his close-contact defensive capability and control tactics.

 

As an instructor, Brian is calm under pressure, disciplined in mindset, and passionate about giving people real tools for real threats. He trains with purpose and teaches with experience—his instruction comes from the streets, not just the classroom. His mission is simple: to prepare responsible citizens to protect life with confidence, clarity, and courage when it matters most.

 

Today, Brian is a co-founder and lead instructor with Trinity Tactical, a training organization built on real-world experience, integrity, and American values. Through Trinity Tactical, Brian helps deliver professional-level firearms and defensive instruction alongside All Seasons Tactical and fellow instructor Kurt, creating a complete training system for people of all skill levels—from first-time firearm owners to advanced defensive practitioners.
