Favorite Quotes
"We're working for a Middle East Royal family in Beverly Hills and we have American culture while they have Sri Lankan culture. And that's the two different cultures that a lot of security agents, execs protection agents really struggle with. I was just being friendly. And two days later I got fired because I was being too nosy in his custom. That mistake cost me $20,000 for that month of work."
"My DNA has always been wired to protect. From firefighting and to law enforcement corrections, always protecting the public interest."
"What you're dealing with is the psychology of those adolescents. They live in chaos. The minute you give them structure and organization and the detention center give them routine, they snap because in their role, they come from chaos."
"The biggest problem I see in the security industry is the handshake and verbal. You can lose hundreds of thousand dollars just over that. The verbal agreement or the handshake means nothing in court of law."
