A former homeless teenager who once sought protection on the streets of New York City has built one of Texas’s most highly-rated security companies, revolutionizing industry standards while protecting faith based organizations, Fortune 100 companies, luxury hotels, and A-list celebrities.
The founder of Credible Security Solutions began his career as a security guard in 1990, transitioning to store detective work in 1994 before climbing the ranks of the loss prevention industry. Over three decades, he conducted more than 5,000 interviews and interrogations as an investigator while providing countless protection details both in uniform and as a personal protection officer.
After relocating from New York to Houston in 2009, he retired from the corporate world as a Regional Loss Prevention Director, having overseen internal investigations for more than 300 retail locations across New York, New Jersey, Texas, and Louisiana. Drawing on more than 20 years of security field experience at the time, he envisioned enhancing industry standards and building a company culture focused on credibility while providing safety tips to the general public.
In January 2011, after passing the Texas Department of Public Safety-Private Security Exam, he launched his Houston-based security firm with a mission to improve the industry one officer at a time and one client at a time. This commitment to excellence has resulted in the company earning more five-star Google reviews than any other security company in Texas.
The company’s approach differs significantly from traditional security services. Rather than simply placing uniforms on warm bodies and calling them guards, the firm focuses on providing professional security officers who are trained to protect people, property, and possessions with credibility and professionalism. This selective approach extends to both hiring practices and client selection, with the company declining to work with venues that don’t align with their company culture, including gentleman’s clubs, game rooms, sports bars, and nightclubs.
Among the founder’s most memorable experiences was securing the New Year’s Eve Ball Drop in Times Square from December 2011 through January 2019. As a subcontractor for this annual event, he supervised security officers who secured high-profile access points and stage perimeters while protecting A-list celebrities at what he describes as the largest party in the world, with more than one million people in attendance.
Beyond traditional security services, the company has expanded into specialized training programs. Their Mass Casualty Attack Awareness Presentation teaches participants how to deter, detect, and defend against mass casualty attacks. Additionally, their Interviews for Success program provides an insider’s approach to reading body language, teaching effective interview techniques through open-ended questions, detecting deception and understanding facial micro-expressions.
The company maintains an active presence on social media platforms including LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube, where they share free safety and security tips. Their philosophy emphasizes living life as a warrior rather than a worrier, encouraging people to stay alert and be safe while going about their daily lives.
Credible Security Solutions continues to serve a diverse clientele including Fortune 100 companies, five-star luxury hotels, schools, churches, and celebrities. The company’s growth from a vision in 2010 to becoming Texas’s most reviewed security firm demonstrates the impact of combining personal experience with professional expertise and a commitment to elevating industry standards.
