Gary is a person of utmost integrity and ability. He has furnished leadership and exhibited a depth of knowledge of the security profession rarely found in a single security professional.

“Gary Nelson has been a neighbor, colleague and friend for many years. As a neighbor, we attended the same schools starting in Junior High and extending through our college years. As a colleague, we worked together as deputies with the Jackson County Sheriff’s Department in Medford, OR. As a friend, our families have spent many happy hours together. Through all of my associations with Gary, I have always found him to be an honest hardworking individual with a sense of integrity that is beyond reproach.
