Summary

I have been in the security industry since 1998. I began my career as an alarm dispatcher. Then I was promoted to hire and train all dispatcher. Company was sold. Worked for another company, ASG Security as their service manager. Company again sold. Went to work for Connect One security where I learned about structure wiring for our builders. Trained myself in products and how to sell and close security contracts with our builder homeowner. Ran territories and had been one of the top sales reps with Connect One many times.
