Our Story

Able Nation came about to fulfill the need for church, school and civic group security. We spoke with many schools and churches to find out what they were doing to secure their people. We all agreed that the safety of our children and families was critical, but many did not have the funds necessary for the training. We began by donating time and financial support. The concept grew as others heard about our efforts. In June of 2018, we formed Able Nation, a 501(c)3 non-profit, to raise the funds for security training and education, material donations (medical kits and protective vests), and the donation of security protection at events.

A Message from our Co-Founder

Attacks on our nation’s children are on the rise…

Someone should do something. That someone is you.

If you are like me, you notice security shortfalls. I see them everywhere, every day. The hardest ones to see in my daily life, are the ones that involve my children. Neil Pinkham and I stepped forward and began to work with the staff of my children’s school. We quickly realized that the time, equipment, and training necessary to effectively make a difference was too much for us to accommodate or fund individually. Upon sharing this reality, we found that many others identify this problem and are willing to come together to meet it head on.

Since the inception of Able Nation, we have raised almost $113,000 which has allowed us to make a difference and potentially save lives through training scholarships (54 people trained from schools and churches), and emergency response equipment purchases (54 North American Rescue Community Response Trauma Packs, and 9 protective vests have been disseminated nationally to churches, and schools!) And we just getting started…

Our nation’s children are being targeted. I will not shake a fist at the TV while saying “someone should do something”… That someone is you.

Will you please join us in this noble mission?

Together, we can make a difference.

Thank you,
