CARLOS ORTEGA
Retired Gunnery Sergeant, U.S. Marine Corps
With 13 years of honorable service in the United States Marine Corps, I developed advanced training, leadership expertise, and real-world operational experience that directly translate into effective emergency preparedness and response instruction. Serving in combat leadership roles in Iraq and Afghanistan taught me how to lead under extreme pressure, make life-saving decisions in seconds, and instill confidence and discipline in those around me.
Beyond the battlefield, I have carried these skills into civilian life, focusing on what matters most: protecting people and preparing communities to respond when every second counts. I bring that same experience to schools, churches, businesses, and communities delivering hands-on CPR, First Aid, emergency preparedness, and active shooter response training that saves lives combining military-tested strategies with practical, real-world training for everyone. My approach is hands-on, scenario-driven, and designed to equip individuals and teams with the confidence, awareness, and skills they need to protect lives.
At Seven Shields Safety Solutions, our mission is clear: to protect what matters most with purpose, skill, and faith at the core. Every program we deliver is built on that foundation ensuring that when danger arises, you are not only prepared but empowered to act with courage and clarity.
