About Don A.

I love what I do and am happy with who I am and strive to increase the levels of both. I believe that we get what we want by helping others get what they want. Our opportunities and resources can be shared to create new opportunities for others. We all can make an immediate impact on each other and ourselves through the choices we make each day. My studies at the University of Memphis allowed me to earn a degree in Mechanical Engineering. I successfully graduated with an MBA from Christian Brothers University. I have over 20 years of solid distribution experience with a leading international distributor. These three pathways have presented a unique opportunity for me to serve my community through my business. As President of MidSouth Casters & Equipment Inc, I am part of a team that is focused on helping people reduce the physical stress of their workday. Through a large inventory of casters, wheels, and other material handling products, our highly experienced staff helps businesses move products in, out of, and around the MidSouth, and the country at large, more efficiently, more productively, and more profitably. We are also able to serve our community by participating in programs that help others achieve their goals and support their families through education and on the job training. It is my conviction that as leaders of our respective business communities, we cannot be satisfied with simply showing a profit but rather be a part of the growth, renaissance and continual improvement of the lives we touch who struggle to survive and achieve in each of our communities.

   We are a self-defense school; that operates from the perspective that awareness is paramount and avoidance is best. We acknowledge that not every situation will have a self defense solution but we also know that there might be a time where we have to engage… and its better to be prepared. That’s why we train with Krav Maga. Krav Maga is not a martial art. It is not a sport. Krav Maga is a self defense philosophy emphasizing aggression, and simultaneous defensive and offensive maneuvers. Our sole purpose in teaching Krav Maga is so that we can create a distance of time and space from our assailant in order to escape.
