LEADERSHIP STATEMENT

I started in the alarm industry in 1986 by answering an ad that said, “Crime Pays,” and offering $1,400. I then met my future wife who was already working there! We started our own company two years later. We started out as Western Emergency Services with the idea that we would sell fire and medical systems and devices as well as burglar alarms.

We changed to AmeriTech Security, and then finally Global Security around 1999. We had four telemarketing rooms back then, cold calling prospects and sold thousands of residential alarms by appointment, demo, etc. We have since become more full service, leading with commercial, and today have another location in Tacoma, Wash.
