“Recently I had the occasion to work with two members of 1st Choice Security at the opening of the venue in Cedar Park Texas. They were on time, attentive, thorough, congenial and total professionals. Not only did they provide personal protection for George Strait, but they also were an excellent liaison with building personnel and concert security. It was opening night for the venue which can always bring a special set of challenges. Mr. Parrish was a big part of the evening's success. ”
