He has consulted on situational awareness and high-risk decision making worldwide and his training programs have been delivered to more than 67,000 attendees.

Corporate consulting and training clients have included Exxon/Mobil, Syncrude Oil Refinery, Nuclear Fuel Services, Georgia Pacific, Babcock & Wilcox, SGL Carbon and Eagle Materials Corporation.

More than 500 public safety agencies have relied on him to help improve their emergency scene safety and high-risk decision making, including the New York City Fire Department’s Incident Management Team, the fire officers associations for Los Angeles City and Los Angeles County Fire Departments and fire brigades in England, the Netherlands, Belgium, Australia, New Zealand and Hong Kong.

When he's not helping his clients, Dr. Gasaway enjoys time at home with his family as well as wilderness hiking, canoeing, kayaking and camping.

Saint Florian and Saint Michael the Archangel,

Please watch over all first responders, help them
maintain strong situational awareness, help them
make good decisions in times of stress and time
compression and, above all, bring them home
safely to the ones who love them.

Always, and in all ways, be the glory to God.

Amen
