When I turned 18, I joined the USN following bootcamp and a year of electronics training - I was assigned to the USN alarm system school, where I was trained to service the alarm systems used by the military to protect high security facilities. I spent 2 years stationed at NAVSTA Roosevelt Roads in Puerto Rico, and another 2 years stationed aboard the USS John Young DD973 in San Diego, CA where I maintained a variety of electronic systems, including communications, test equipment and various security related systems. After 6 years of military service, I returned to the family business and have involved and engaged in the alarm industry since.
