I spent the next 12 years working in the security industry helping businesses and homeowners secure their homes and businesses. In 2021 I had the opportunity to join the corporate team at CertaPro helping over 30 franchise owners grow their businesses. I am thrilled to come full circle, returning to CertaPro Painters of Indianapolis leading the commercial team.<\/span><\/p>\n
