“For the past decade, client safety, security, and satisfaction have been my passion. After completing my Bachelor of Science in Criminal Justice, I began my journey to fulfill my goal in becoming an Executive Protection Specialist. After an honorable discharge from the United States Air Force as a Security Forces Response Team Leader, I re-engaged in my career choice of Executive Protection. I was given the opportunity to work for multiple UHNWIs, Corporate Executives, Government Officials, and more. Realizing that professional development is required for a successful career, I attended a course by BRAVO Research Group and SECFOR International to further my knowledge and skillset. After graduating top of my class, I attended another course by Security Defense Solutions and was hired on-the-spot to fulfill a roll as an Executive Protection Agent. I then went on to begin training local law enforcement, military, and security personnel in firearms and combative capabilities. It is my objective to obtain even more expertise within the Private Security field in order to increase my overall effectiveness for my clientele and pass along my knowledge to others seeking to become protectors.” – Levi Rutherford
