All About Me and My Self Defense

Thanks for visiting my site.

Here you can find out more about me and my history in security and self defense.

Back in 2000 I began my security career at a large locksmith in Central Pennsylvania. I worked hard and became a Certified Registered Locksmith, but my true love was working on and cracking safes.

Soon I became the premier safe technician in Central Pennsylvania. I worked my way from a Certified Registered Safe Technician to a Journeyman Safecracker. I took my final tests and passed to become one of the areas only Certified Master Safecrackers.

In 2006 I opened my own business as a subcontractor for locksmiths and safe companies. If they had a safe they could not open or repair, they called me in. What great fun!

In my free time between jobs I began to sell safes on eBay. I found that although this was not my true love, it was taking up much of my time. I soon decided it was time to stop servicing and opening safes to spend more time developing my web business. My companies sales soon were topping a half million a year.

In late 2007 I began selling surveillance systems, hidden cameras, pepper spray, TASERS and nearly any other security product you can think of. I attended many product training classes on products such as TASERS and pepper spray.

In late 2007 I opened a new company called Stun Factory Stun Guns. Two of the models I sold were the most advanced and quality stun guns available at that time. I sold Stun Factory toward the end of 2008.

The summer of 2009 I opened my retail store selling nothing but security products. I did well, but had a baby the same year and decided it was time to sell the business and have more time with my family.

During the fall of 2010 I returned to my previous position (that I do love) at a local security company. I enjoy my days working in a variety of fields including locksmithing, safecracking, alarm installation, video surveillance installation and security consulting. To date, this is what I do on a daily basis.

With the free time I have, I share what I have learned over the years with others by building this website.

I hope some of the information provided on this site is of use to someone and I will be more and thrilled if it someday saves just one person from harm.

Thanks for visiting, I appreciate you taking the time to find out more about me and my website.
