Rob Pincus, owner of I.C.E. Training Company and the developer of the Combat Focus Shooting Program has taken on the role of Executive Director of Personal Defense Network (PDN).

In his new role, Pincus will lead the development of PDN’s newest content offerings, instructor development for the professional training community, new content focused on females, law enforcement and youth, and industry-first initiatives in distance education.

Pincus will be key in the launch of “PDN 2.0,” a behind-the-scenes technical expansion of the PDN online platform expected to dramatically boost the user experience. It is an accelerated plan to bring new benefits to PDN Premium Members and platform visitors, as well as a means of expanding the network in new directions.

“Nobody in the personal defense training industry does more to make defensive training accessible, affordable, and applicable to the masses than Rob,” said Tom Durand, PDN Executive Vice President. We look forward to his input and guidance in defining the scope and execution of this industry’s next big thing, and we’re thrilled to have his commitment.”
