  NEC Security

  Jan 2004 - Nov 2009

  Security Supervisor

  My threat assessment & resolution abilities often neutralized issues before things could escalate. I've managed variable size teams of up to 20 bodyguards for event & location security to witness, intercede, document, and report back all necessary security protocols ensuring the safe execution of events, and corporate functions and political galas that have serviced up to 2000 people at a time. I was on duty for a Hillary Clinton campaign stop during her first presidential run in 2007. I have successfully interfaced with NYPD, Secret Service, CEO's, Celebrities, Politicians, DJ's, artists, helicopter moms, kids, coaches, girl scout troops, thieves, gang bangers, and drug dealers during the execution of my duties at NEC. The takeaway here is I speak most peoples' "language" and folks generally "get me". This is a HUGE asset in both internal and external communications. I have also been a keynote speaker at mandatory company training sessions. Show less
