MEET ONE OF OUR CONFERENCE PRESENTERS:
Please keep in mind that presenters Thomas Rizzo and Jim Dugan have approved their presentations being recorded, though Jay Dobyns has not. If hearing Jay Dobyns' presentation is important to you, prioritize attending the conference in person. 

JAY DOBYNS
Agent. Author. Speaker. Coach

A criminal defense attorney once described Jay as: "...a government-trained ‘Predator’ repeatedly sent on seek and destroy missions in search of drugs, guns, and violence with instructions to succeed at any cost without regard for the agent himself or those he crosses paths with.”

He achieved worldwide notoriety as one of history's most daring undercover operators during high-octane missions targeting America's violent crime.

Jay played the role of a shrewdly-calculating hitman, mob debt collector, and gunrunner to target gang members, anti-government groups, narcotics and weapons traffickers, and organized crime syndicates. Read More
