Rudrud, a former police officer, approached Scott Doss, Pillager School principal, and asked him to quit his job and join in this endeavor to impact more lives across the country. Doss agreed.

The RIPL team includes Doss’ 33 plus years in education, Rudrud’s over 10 plus years in law enforcement, a mental health consultant with over 40 years experience, nationally recognized speakers, educational experts and over a dozen team members to create the very best training.
