About

Protecting people and the private lives they've built.

Devin currently serves on a residential security team in Central Texas, with a focus on discretion, access control, and a calm, consistent presence.

He graduated from the ESS Global Executive Protection Academy (close protection), holds active Texas Level II, III and IV security licenses, and is trained in tactical emergency casualty care.

Before security, he spent seven years in corporate sales and client relations, so he's at ease with principals, family members, household staff, and guests.

He also served with the Florida State Guard as a search-and-rescue operations specialist.

My Story

I protect other families the way I'd want mine protected.

I'm a husband and a father, and that shapes how I work. I protect other families the way I'd want my own protected: calm, discreet, and fully present.

I spent seven years in corporate sales and client relations before choosing protection work as a calling, not a side job. So I invested in myself. I graduated a 24-day close-protection academy, earned TECC and BLS, served with the Florida State Guard in search and rescue, and worked armed security, mobile patrol, and residential EP details in Florida.

In September 2026 I moved my family from Florida to Austin, Texas, to build my career in one of the country's fastest-growing EP markets. I earned my Texas Level IV PPO and now serve on a residential security team in Central Texas.

I'm early in my EP career, and I'm building it deliberately: steady tenure, advanced training, and a reputation for reliability. I'm here for the long haul.
