you taught me literally "everything" I know about lock smithing and I
am so grateful to you that I couldn't express it fully enough
Sean Thampi, Locksmith Apprentice, Security Solutions NW
"I knew that when I asked Brent to complete the work, it would be done
correctly and in time for me to meet my deadline...
His calm affect may sometimes mask the fact that he is a strong,
honorable man with a great inner core of integrity and decency."

"Brent was a contract employee for me for several years. His contract was
on an as needed basis. There were times when I needed his services within a
very few hours. He never let me down. His work was impeccable and I
always knew I could count on him One evening we had a rain storm and I
was unable to go to my patio to put furniture under cover. I called Brent
and he was there within minutes having dropped his family plans to help me.
As you can tell, he is a caring man who does his work well and is willing
to help others."
