Get to know our founder

Eric Huhn is the founder of Charlie Division, a safety and emergency response consulting company focused on high-consequence environments where failure is not an option.

With a background spanning the fire service, mechanical engineering, and motorsports emergency response, Eric operates at the intersection of field experience and systems thinking. His work centers on understanding how complex hazards behave in real-world conditions—and building practical strategies to manage them when things don’t go according to plan.

Eric has developed a reputation for engaging deeply with emerging and unconventional risks, translating technical complexity into clear, actionable decision-making frameworks for responders, operators, and organizations working in high-risk industries.

He founded Charlie Division to provide consulting, training, and operational support across a range of sectors, including industrial safety, event and production standby operations, and emerging hazard environments.

His approach is grounded in a simple principle: effective safety isn’t theoretical—it’s built through experience, pressure, and a willingness to work directly in the details.

why "charlie division"?

In the fire service, the "Charlie side" is the back of a building — the side you can't see from the command post. It's where hidden dangers live. We named our company after it because that's what we do: we handle the safety challenges your business can't see. We're the Charlie Division of your operation.
