Disney World, Team Building Jan 2020
Driven By Passion
Every year I challenge my team to be 1% better every day in everything they do; our 5th value Kaizen means continuous improvement or 1% better. As part of my passion for greatness I inspire and motivate everyone on our team to follow all our 5 values, Safety - Security - Reliability - Value - Kaizen, to exemplify our Vision "to be the most trusted and reliable security company in Iowa", and to help us achieve our mission of -Achieving more than peace of mind for every client.
After working for Homeland Security and serving a combined 7 years in both the US Army and US Airforce I grew a passion for helping others, protecting our country, and serving her people in it. In 2010 I earned my bachelor degree in Criminology and Criminal Justice with a side emphasis in Electrical Technology from Iowa State University. Both my Grandpas owned businesses, both my parents owned businesses in Ames, IA and both my older and younger brother currently run successful business too, right here in Central Iowa. I come from a family of entrepreneurs and visionaries! My passion for entrepreneurship and leading others started at a very young age, and now 7+ years in business, we are proud to be Iowa's most trusted and reliable security company.
Here at Astra we're fully committed to the safety of you, your family, and your needs. We are locally owned and guarantee your satisfaction every step of the way.

Team Building
Every year if my team hits our strict customer service goals I take my team on an all inclusive trip to see another company doing what we're striving to do, and to have a little fun together. In Jan of 2020 we went on a behind the scenes tour of Walt Disney World to see first hand what it takes to run a company with a similar vision and values! We learned so much and were able to bring back so many great examples of what it takes to run a great company. We got to see first hand the hidden world below the surface of Walt Disney Worlds Magic Kingdom, the Disney Underground Tour!
