At Arkansas Fire Protection Services, we’re not some faceless corporation—we’re your neighbors. I’ve been in this trade since 1999, starting out as a helper and working my way through apprenticeships, licenses, and even fire pump school up in Indianapolis. Over the years, I earned my stripes (and a few gray hairs) by learning every part of the fire protection business, from sprinkler inspections to backflow repair.

What sets us apart is simple: we put real training and care into our people. While others cut corners, we invest in our team so they know the codes, understand the equipment, and can keep your building safe when it matters most. Because when a fire starts, the protection we put in place is the very first line of defense.

I started this company because I saw something missing in the industry—good customer service and well-trained technicians. To me, those aren’t optional. They’re the foundation. Just like back in the day, when a man’s word and his work spoke for themselves.

Outside of work, I’m no different from any of you—I enjoy hunting, fishing, and spending time with my grandkids and family at the lake. This business isn’t just about valves and sprinklers. It’s about people, families, and communities. That’s who we are, and that’s why we do what we do.
