I have known and worked with John for more than 20 years and have no reservations recommending that you hire John Savage and take advantage of the lifetime of experience he brings to your consulting and security needs. Besides having the education, training and experience to help your company go to the next level he is one of the most ethical and Godly men in the industry and when you're talking about the security of your company, organization, college, school or family, do you really want to go with anything else. Absolutely Not!

I retired from the Houston Police Department after 29 years of public service. I worked with John Savage for many of those years. Like many others have said, John is a high quality, sincere and honest individual. After I retired from the Houston Police Department, I worked as the Assistant Chief of Police for the METRO Police Department in Harris County Texas. We hired John's security firm and as I expected, John delivered exceptional, high quality service to our transit system. If you have any security needs, call John Savage. You will not ever regret it.

I worked with John professionally for several years in my former capacity as the Special Agent in Charge of the Secret Service Field Office in Houston, TX. John's commitment to advancing the respect for the law enforcement objective "to protect and serve" was notable. Now as President and founder of ExecProtect, these same values that John demonstrated during his public service with the Houston Police Department have made him and his team trusted advisers to companies seeking expert solutions to complex security concerns.

John recently launched his own security and investigation business specializing in business and individual security. I've known John since 2007 when he was head of security for the Osteen family and Lakewood Church. Our company became John's first customer in his new endeavor, which is a tremendous honor for us. I feel that we are in great hands with John. He is a man of integrity and depth of experience as shown by his long history with the Houston Police Department, FBI training and then with the Osteens and Lakewood Church.
