David Viergutz founded Stronghold Protective Systems after ten years as a Texas police officer, where he worked hundreds of property crime cases and saw the same thing at almost every kicked-in door: a good lock in a weak frame. He joined the Army at 18, served in the intelligence field, then spent a decade in law enforcement as a Master Peace Officer, field training officer and ALERRT instructor. He started Stronghold with his wife Melissa, also a former officer, to buy families minutes while help is on the way. He lives in Georgetown, Texas, with his family, and writes the home security articles on this site himself.
