OBJECTIVE
As President of this corporation I am looking to expand into the additional
markets of High Rise Fire system inspection and installation. My company is
currently an authorized Medeco DBK (Dealer Biaxle Keyway), dealer as well as an authorized Mul-t-lock
High Security Dealer. We have 2 excellent restricted keyway systems to provide
our customers. I am also engaged in the pursuit of providing more in the way of
Electronic Access and Closed Circuit TV systems. With the combination of having
both an Alarm Company (Ace Alarm Systems) and a Locksmith company (Ace Lock &
Key Co.), make my company uniquely qualified to serve the needs of an increasing
demand from both the Public and Private sectors with respect to mechanical and
electronic security.
SUMMARY
I began work in the security industry in 1973. I became full owner of this
company in 1984. I was the first security provider to open up a second location
(1989). Our company was one of the first to make use of computers in our
business. Through the ALOA program I rose to highest rank of Certified Master
Locksmith (CML) the first to accomplish this in Indianapolis in (1989). Between
the years of 1977 through 1988 I served numerous times as on officer for the
Associated Locksmiths Of Indiana (ALOI). The positions I held were Secretary,
Treasurer, Vice President, President (2 years) and Sergeant at arms. I have
excellent, management and organizational skills.

emphasis in the last 2 years is to increase the sell of home/office safes and to
