The People Behind
Security Detection Solutions
Since the mid-1990s, Justin has been involved in the metal detection industry, beginning his career with White’s Electronics of the Great Lakes, one of the largest distribution centers for White’s Electronics metal detectors. Working alongside his father, who owned the distribution center, Justin developed a strong understanding of how metal detection technology works while also learning the fundamentals of operating and growing a successful business. This hands-on experience provided the foundation for a career that would eventually become focused primarily on security screening and detection solutions.
As the demand for security metal detection equipment continued to grow, Justin took on an increasingly prominent role in the security side of the business. That growth eventually led to the creation of Security Detection Solutions, formed in partnership with other experienced professionals in the industry. Justin became an owner of the company’s Central Region and has since been involved in the sales, service, deployment, and rental of security screening equipment, including walk-through metal detectors, high-throughput weapons detection systems, and X-ray inspection systems. In addition to working directly with customers, Justin oversees the day-to-day operations and continued growth of Security Detection Solutions’ Central Division.
Throughout his career, Justin has helped provide security screening solutions for some of the country’s most recognizable and high-profile events, including Super Bowls, NBA All-Star Games, and the United Nations General Assembly, along with numerous other major events nationwide. His experience extends beyond temporary event security to permanent security installations for schools, universities, government facilities, public venues, and other organizations seeking dependable screening solutions.
