Merlin O'Brecht
Gatineau, Canada
Personal Background
Merlin O’Brecht has been working with Chase Hughes to become an Avery Clinician since 2022. He recalls sitting in Chase’s office and asking if Chase would teach him the Avery process—at the time, Chase had never taught it to anyone else. From that day, Chase set Merlin on a path to master neuroscience, microbiology, and hypnosis, while continuing his studies in authority, behavior profiling, and influence. Chase set a high bar for Merlin to achieve, but Merlin was determined to climb the mountain. Since then, Merlin has spent thousands of hours studying everything Chase recommended. Merlin has always loved challenges, as seen in his climb of Cotopaxi at 19 and years of training with professional and world-champion Muay Thai fighters.
Professional Background
Merlin is a behavioral scientist, philosopher, and accomplished entrepreneur. Following his studies of liberal arts at Heritage College, Merlin founded his own metal roofing company, Merlin’s Roofing Corp. His company quickly became well known throughout Canada, the US, and Europe for its outstanding quality and workmanship. Merlin studied with German masters including Peter Steetz. He brought European guild techniques that employ a level of craftsmanship that allows copper metal roofs to last for centuries without maintenance to Canada. After 8 years of operation, Merlin closed his company to begin work with Chase Hughes and NCI University full time.
Merlin is regarded by many as one of Chase Hughes’s greatest pupils, achieving every certification level within Chase’s company NCI University. Merlin was among the first to achieve a Red Belt title from Chase for his mastery of behavior influence formulas and unparalleled skills in behavior profiling. He is certified to the level of NCI-4 Author and was one of the only people to edit the Behavior Ops Manual for content, rather than grammar or spelling. Merlin is mentioned in the Special Thanks section at the end of the Ops Manual for the passages and content he wrote which were included in the book, such as the Sigma Protocol. Continuing his work with Chase, Merlin was named Dean of Admissions for NCI University, after which he began work on leading a team to create the NCI exams.
Merlin is currently one of only two people who have been awarded the distinction of NCI Coach, where he teaches authority, profiling, and influence to students in NCI Grad School. He is the head of the coaching department where he developed learning methods to help NCI Grad School students master behavior skills. Merlin also led a team in developing The 7 Pillars of Grad School which are the unique learning tools available to all Grad School students. Now fully certified as an Avery Clinician, Merlin’s sights are set on providing the highest quality Avery programming possible to his clients.

Sue Gibbons
St Louis, MO
Personal Background
Even prior to beginning a career in law enforcement, Sue was always fascinated with human behavior and body language. As a police officer, she quickly recognized the advantages of having some knowledge on these topics and compiled quite a collection of books and articles building her own “library”, but it was missing a critical link between theory and real-world application.
Everything changed when Sue attended Chase’s training. It was a life-altering experience where she discovered her “library” didn’t provide the skills necessary to actually apply the principles in real time, the ability to change an outcome or actually help someone. That training was a game-changer, and she dedicated herself to learning the skills to influence, guide, and persuade people to favorable results.
Sue has spent her professional life being “of service” to others as a police officer, detective, and a law enforcement instructor. Becoming a certified Avery clinician is truly the top tier of service to others and aligns with her motto of “leaving others better than you found them.”
Professional Background
Sue’s professional background includes almost 30 years as a police officer, detective, and training officer. Her training and teaching experience began at the police department where she trained new police recruits and was the lead instructor for all officers in defensive tactics and non-lethal weapons. It was during her 20+ years as a tactical instructor where she gained a greater understanding of how effective communication was remarkably more powerful than any fighting maneuver or technique.
Intrigued by the possibilities of using words to influence and persuade people, Sue dove into all forms of communication as well as psychology and human behavior, completing numerous training courses including verbal judo and de-escalation training. All of this information and training was beneficial but was only a few small pieces of the human puzzle.
Sue retired from the police department and began her second career as a law enforcement instructor, while continuing to pursue learning and studying human behavior. After years in NCI Grad School and completing training like the Black Course, Sue discovered that theories, models, and concepts prove inadequate when confidence, authority, and skills are lacking. Retiring again, Sue devoted herself to developing her skills, helping the NCI community, and earning a few NCI certifications in the process. Chase selected Sue to run the Tactical Behavioral Science Unit and most recently, she was chosen to oversee the Avery Program. Sue described those who attended the Avery training as “a select group of the most talented, intelligent, and gifted people I have ever experienced in one room.”

Tylan Hadlock
Mesa, AZ
Personal Background
Decades ago, Tylan Hadlock began a quest for how to unlock the deep abilities of the brain and mind – how to control one’s own emotions, enhance the body, replace any limiting or disruptive beliefs with supercharged, functional ones, and realize one’s full potential. That quest led him to Avery.

Over years of working as a Certified Rolfer, Certified Hypnotist, and Emotional Freedom Coach, Tylan developed a powerful understanding of his clients’ unspoken needs and an ability to help them clarify their own goals. He has been able to resolve physical pains that have been present for years, and emotional pains that have been present for nearly a lifetime.
