10
years of professional experience
I have been fortunate enough to have had a rewarding and distinguished career in the private security sector. I have been honored to work side-by-side with United States Department Of State officials (Secret Service agents), The Federal Bureau Of Investigation, decorated military officials and incredible law-enforcement agencies in Nevada and California over the past several decades. At one point, I was the owner of my own security company, White Sands Security, Inc., in California.
I left California in 1999 and semi-retired here in Las Vegas. I held several rewarding and fulfilling security jobs before officially retiring in 2011. Now, I find myself yearning to return to the work I enjoy. Not as an owner or in upper management, but as a rank and file security officer.
I have included a short list of positions I have held in the past and a partial list of my experience. I will happily forward any other documentation you may require or answer any questions you wish to ask.
Thank you.
