MEET THE TEAM

Prevention is rarely a solo effort.

Behind every DJC Solutions engagement is a bench of specialists who've walked this work themselves: trainers, facilitators, coaches, and strategists who work alongside you.

FOUNDER

Dave Closson

Founder, DJC Solutions · Combat Veteran · Prevention Specialist

Portrait of Dave Closson

Dave founded DJC Solutions because he's lived every side of this work. A U.S. Army Infantry Sniper Team Leader turned prevention specialist, he speaks about recovery from his own story.

He was the founding director of the Mid-America Prevention Technology Transfer Center (Mid-America PTTC), where he helped build the training and workforce infrastructure prevention professionals across the region still rely on.

As an international speaker, Dave has represented the U.S. prevention field at ISSUP in Thessaloniki and the United Nations Commission on Narcotic Drugs (UN CND) in Vienna. DJC Solutions is also a certified SDVOSB (Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business).

WHY THIS MATTERS

You're not hiring one consultant stretched thin.

You're getting a team that's built coalitions, delivered trainings, and produced content for this exact work, together. When the scope shifts mid-grant, we bring in the right person from the bench. When a deliverable needs three specialties, three specialists show up.

Field-tested

Every partner has been in the room when a team was under pressure.

Field-fluent

We speak the language of prevention, behavioral health, and recovery because we've done the work, with no translation tax.

Built to last

A veteran-owned firm with a bench that's grown through trust.

Ready to build something that lasts beyond a single grant cycle?

Let's talk about your team's needs, and which of these folks should be in the room with you.
