About Ron Stein

Ron Stein is a career protection professional with decades of experience operating in high-risk, real-world environments.

His work spans law enforcement, touring security, and executive protection—roles where discretion, judgment, and responsibility matter more than visibility. He has spent his career protecting artists, teams, and environments where mistakes carry real consequences.

  • Over two decades in law enforcement

  • More than fifteen years in touring and artist protection

  • Extensive experience operating inside live production environments

  • Trusted by artists, tour managers, and production teams worldwide

Ron’s approach to protection is built on calm decision-making, situational awareness, and professionalism under pressure. The same standards guide his training.

The certification program exists to prepare professionals for the realities of touring and live production work—not theory, not posturing, and not volume-based instruction. Training is intentionally selective and grounded in experience earned in the field.
