Fractional Chief Security Officer

I've run security across 11,000 locations in 12 countries.

Now I do it for companies that need a Chief Security Officer — just not a full-time one.

31 years in physical security. 16 of them running multi-site deployments and operations at enterprise scale. Based in the Pacific Northwest, working globally.

Why clients call

Three problems I get called for

Is this proposal fair?

You're about to commit seven figures to security technology on the recommendation of the company that profits from it. I've specified, procured, and deployed these systems at a scale few independent advisors have — and I've managed the integrators doing the work.

Who signs the assessment?

Premises liability increasingly turns on whether you took documented, reasonable steps against foreseeable risk. I build assessment methodology and program governance designed to hold up under scrutiny — not a template with your logo on it.

Is our violence prevention plan a download?

California's SB 553 has been enforceable since July 2024, and Cal/OSHA must adopt a formal general-industry standard by December 2026. Multi-state operators can't assume federal compliance covers them. Plans have to reflect actual site conditions.

Fit

Who I work with

Multi-site operators — roughly 20 to 2,000 locations — without a full-time security executive.

  • Restaurant groups and large franchisees
  • Healthcare networks outside the hospital setting — urgent care, behavioral health, specialty clinics
  • Multifamily and student housing operators
  • Specialty retail, grocery, and convenience

If you already have an in-house CSO, you don't need me. If security landed on your facilities director by default, you probably do.

Platforms

Systems I've deployed and lived with

  • DMP
  • March Networks
