Today we’d like to introduce you to Arthur Williams.
Hi Arthur, we’re thrilled to have a chance to learn your story today. So, before we get into specifics, maybe you can briefly walk us through how you got to where you are today?
State of the Art Security LLC started after I completed 10 years in law enforcement and corrections. I always had the passion for helping others so in light of leaving law enforcement, I wanted to continue serving within Security.
We all face challenges, but looking back would you describe it as a relatively smooth road?
It has not been a smooth road. With a numerous amount of security companies across Tennessee, including found myself not being able to find contracts, being under bidder, being lied on just so other can grab all the work. It terrible to see companies doing a bad job. Its seems as is they don’t care about their quality of work.
Thanks for sharing that. So, maybe next you can tell us a bit more about your business?
