Meet Our Founders – Optix Security Services (OSS)
Optix Security Services is led by two dedicated industry professionals who have invested their careers in protecting people, strengthening communities, and raising the standard of private security in Washington. With more than a decade of combined real-world experience, they bring both frontline perspective and executive-level strategy to every partnership.
They have worked across nearly every major security environment — national sporting events, stadiums, retail centers, residential communities, corporate facilities, and large public gatherings — where safety and proactive prevention are critical. This background has shaped a culture where reliability, professionalism, and accountability are core expectations.
