Fluent in English and Spanish, he handles lock questions, high-security safes, vault doors, and shipping questions as both a sales specialist and warehouse lead. Every safe that leaves his warehouse goes out on a custom pallet, strap-secured with hard-edge protectors, so it arrives the way it left.
