What I'm looking for
I am an experienced armed security professional and former police-equipment business owner with a strong track record in armed patrols, emergency response, firearms training, and security systems operation. I deliver protective services across client accounts, manage static posts, and respond rapidly to alarms, security threats, suspicious persons, and emergencies.
Previously I founded and ran a police equipment business where I managed operations, P&L, hiring and training, served as a licensed gun dealer and armorer, and developed sales and operational strategies to meet financial goals. I hold a TWIC card, multiple medical and security certifications, and bring leadership, critical thinking, and customer-focused problem solving to high-stress environments.
