SKILLS SUMMARY:
Dynamic security professional with over 20 years of security experience, 3+ in a management/supervisory level as well as military experience. Currently seeking the opportunity to use my skills in perimeter patrolling, loss and damage prevention, vehicle and personnel inspections, as well as crisis management for the ultimate benefit of an entity. Proven team leader, with the illustrated ability to lead large groups, follow compliance and make decisions based on forward thinking. I am also trained to recognize behaviors, identifying deviant behaviors that possibly can pose a threat.
Throughout my tenure, I have exceeded and excelled in positions I have held. I thoroughly learned the subject matter be it the private security industry versus the hospitality industry to better perform my job functions. I have built relationships with surrounding staff to increase communication and ultimately the security of areas under my watch. Also, I have gained additional licensing and training necessary to use force in enforcing safety.
I have completed three years with the United States Armed Forces, which has prepared me for handling tough situations. I have been trained in making the best decision possible given the scenario, to solidify the security of my surroundings. Recently I have received Homeland Security clearance necessary to secure the Federal Government buildings.
