MEET OUR TEAM
Dean
Founder & Programming Manager
LEO/K9/SWAT
I’m Dean, founder of Relic Athlete. After years serving as a police officer, SWAT operator, and K9 handler, I found a passion for instructing law enforcement tactics—teaching everything from high-risk stops to active threat response. That same passion for teaching led me to the fitness side of law enforcement, where I saw firsthand how poor industry standards fail those who wear the badge. My mission is to raise that standard, combining my experience on the street with evidence-based strength and conditioning to prepare officers and first responders for the real demands of the job.
