"I have had the opportunity as an installer out in industry to get a hands-on approach at how various systems work and the important role they play. Security, surveillance, and access systems work hard and timelessly in the background to provide us with safety and security which we take for granted.

"I had the privilege of attending my community college and completing electronics engineering technician diploma and getting a design and newest technology approach to learning these systems.

"Looking back at how the security industry changed, and where we are today, I can say with confidence that the future looks exciting as far as opportunities are concerned. I very humbly thank CANASA very much for the opportunity to be accepted as a recipient and will do my best to continue my studies into the science and technology behind it."
