As a Security Professional with over 20 years in the industry, I am seeking a managerial or supervisory role with a professional company where I can utilize my training and experience. I am authorized to work in the United States for any employer, and am willing to relocate if necessary. I endeavor to mobilize business owners, event planners, community groups, and concerned citizens into creating safety, with me by their side, for themselves and for the good of the community at large.
