Our Team
Our Direct Bearing consulting team are leaders, guides and mentors. We are as comfortable leading a group developing solutions to complex organizational issues, as we are ensuring the safety of workers on the Golden Gate Bridge, navigating a Class V river or leading a company of fire fighters into a burning house. We are action oriented, come from diverse backgrounds and are accomplished - academically, professionally and personally. When working with you, our actions are motivated by your ability to own, implement and continue to develop solutions to your unique risk management challenges.

The Direct Bearing Team is lead by a management group with more than 50 years of experience.
