“I take an approach most firefighter career coaches don’t - I lead with experience, passion and intelligence. No cut-and-paste “Googled” interview questions with me. In preparing you, I really get to know you. I’ll push you to dig deep into what drives you to want that pro fire job or next-step promotion. With that we'll work together to create your action plan towards you becoming the ideal candidate.
The kind of candidate a fire department can't miss.”
— Dave Robertson
“Why I call my coaching FIRE-EDGE - It’s an ancient term referring to the cutting edge of a fire-forged blade. A sword with a fire edge was sharper and lasted longer, giving the fiercest warriors the advantage in battle.
I’ll lead you to that FIRE-EDGE. Working one-on-one with me, you'll be the best prepared candidate, gaining the advantage over competition in getting one of the toughest jobs out there - the career fire job.”
