CEO & Owner
After leaving the Police Department in 2014, Andy set out to start a company that would not only provide the highest levels of security, but also raise the bar for the level of training available to the public, law enforcement and the military. After observing the disconnect between law enforcement and the general public and the overall lack of tactical knowledge and ability, it became clear that the current providers did not make the cut. Andy continued to work part time as a police officer and began working a police K9. Prior to working in law enforcement, Andy served in many protection capacities all over the United States and the world employed as a close protection agent and PMC, working in accordance with the United Nations, the French Foreign Legion NGOs and other entities.
