I deliver enterprise security technology systems from design through operational turnover.
United StatesWhat I'm looking for
At Milestone Systems, I help enterprise and public-sector customers across Southwest Texas deploy XProtect VMS and related video, cloud, hybrid, and analytics solutions.
Previously at Convergint Technologies, I developed integrated security and life-safety solutions while managing approximately $3.5M in annual sales and $1M in gross margin. I earned Convergint ACE Award recognition by aligning customer needs, design intent, field realities, and long-term system strategy.
My eight years at USAA included owning security-technology construction lifecycles for data centers and enterprise facilities—from design and specifications through commissioning, acceptance, as-builts, and turnover. I bring 30+ years of hands-on experience across video surveillance, access control, intercom, fire/life safety, contractor coordination, and secure network integration.
