I am currently the Assistant Director of Security at Four Seasons Hotel Las Vegas with over a decade of security experience. Through my years in security in the hospitality and gaming industries, I have gained valuable and actionable experience in many facets of physical security. Additionally, I hold PSP board certification in physical security through ASIS.Working security in Las Vegas is unlike anywhere else. The hotels, casinos and mega resorts present many challenges and are not unlike small cities in their size and population. All of these factors require myself and my staff to act as a first line of defense against threats while also providing the highest levels of customer service. The range of situations we deal with can be extreme but also rewarding in their successful and safe resolutions.As Assistant Director, I am responsible for the effective operation of the security department. This requires quick and decisive decision making with considerations for the company, staff and clientele at all times. I have significant experience with situational awareness, conflict resolution, verbal de-escalation tactics as well as balancing safety/security while also maintaining discretion for our high net worth and discerning clientele.I have been involved with many operational decisions and designs, including implementation of access control systems, CCTV systems, policies and procedures and training documentation. I also lead and coordinate many executive/close protection details of individuals ranging from celebrities, politicians, dignitaries and high net worth individuals.
