Video surveillance, access control, intrusion, and the managed-service contracts that keep everything running, along with life safety and fire alarm. I partner closely with facility managers and site staff across the DFW metroplex.
Soy hablante nativa de español. I serve Spanish-speaking facility managers and site staff across DFW with the same depth of work I do in English; both are professional, both are everyday.
The full scope a serious facility needs, from one consultant.
Commercial fire and life safety is the anchor. Access control, technology integration, and subscription-based managed services round out the rest, without juggling four separate vendors.
Security & Access Control
Access control systems, video surveillance, intrusion detection, and visitor management: layered protection designed for your facility.
Managed Services & Subscription
Trade capital expenditure for a predictable monthly fee. Full coverage for fire, security, and tech systems. No large upfront investment required.
Fire Alarm & Life Safety
Code-compliant fire alarm systems, mass notification, central station monitoring, and first-responder DAS for DFW commercial properties.
Technology Integration
Structured cabling, IT infrastructure, healthcare nurse call, education technology, and critical communications, unified under one account executive.
I scope every system to the codes a DFW inspector actually checks.
- NFPA 72
- IFC Section 510
- UL 827 Monitoring
- NDAA Section 889
- OSHA 1910
- Texas Fire Code
Find out where your building actually stands.
Send a few details and I will walk your facility, check it against the codes a DFW inspector will, and scope exactly what it needs. No charge, no pressure, and no proposal until I understand the building.

The buildings I know best.
Manufacturing along the I-35 corridor. Commercial property managers in Las Colinas, Frisco, and Legacy West. Private school campuses navigating Texas safety code. These are where I go deepest; I also serve general commercial and mixed-use facilities across the metro.
- Manufacturing & Industrial OSHA-compliant fire suppression, perimeter access control, and equipment protection for DFW manufacturing facilities and distribution centers.
- Commercial Real Estate Multi-tenant life safety systems, common-area access control, and integrated video surveillance for DFW property managers and owners.
- Private Schools & Education Campus safety programs, visitor management, and mass notification systems tailored for DFW private K-12 schools and higher education campuses.
I cover the DFW metroplex.
The area looks like one market until you pull a permit in it. Cities along the same corridor review against different editions of the fire code, and each runs its own AHJ, its own submittal process, and its own alarm permit program.
My commercial work runs across the Dallas-Fort Worth area, including the cities here. Each page carries the verified specifics: which office reviews plans, what the permit sequence looks like, and which code edition your drawings need to match. The full list lives on the service areas hub.
- Frisco New-construction permits, EPR plan review, 2024 IFC
- McKinney Industrial growth, sprinkler-first plan review, 2024 IFC
- Plano Corporate campuses, Class A multi-tenant, 2024 IFC

Why I scope projects the way I do.
I started in sales in 2018 as an Account Advocate, brought on to revitalize and safeguard accounts already under contract, restoring neglected accounts to health while protecting customer retention and satisfaction. From 2019 to 2022, I served as a Service Account Executive, closing contracts totaling up to $500K.
That nine-year run in service before sales is the reason I scope projects the way I do: needs analysis first, recommendations second, with a realistic picture of installation and ongoing service. For the complete career timeline, read the full background.

Questions facility managers ask before a first meeting
-
-
A commercial security consultant handles the full scope of a security or fire alarm engagement: needs analysis, system design, vendor coordination, project oversight, and ongoing service. The distinction from a typical sales rep is depth of involvement. I work a project from initial site walk-through through installation and post-install review, not just the contract signature. My nine years in service delivery before moving into sales is the reason I can do that credibly.

Yes. I am a native Spanish speaker, English and Spanish both at native fluency. I work with Spanish-speaking facility managers, owners, and site staff regularly across the DFW metro. This is not conversational proficiency; I was born and educated in Mexico (B.A., National Autonomous University of Mexico, UNAM) and have used both languages professionally throughout my career.

My primary verticals are manufacturing and industrial facilities, commercial real estate and property management, and private K-12 and higher education campuses. I also work with general commercial office environments. I do not focus on residential, single-family, or consumer security.

Fire alarm system design and installation, mass notification systems, first responder DAS and BDA, and UL-listed central station monitoring are within my scope. For specific system recommendations and project scope, I start with a site assessment. The fire alarm and life safety page covers the full technical scope and DFW compliance requirements in detail.

I cover the full DFW metroplex: Dallas, Fort Worth, Frisco, Plano, McKinney, The Colony, Allen, Arlington, Irving, Garland, Denton, and surrounding North Texas cities. I am based in Frisco, TX. For large projects, I work with engineering and project teams that can cover the full metro and beyond.
