About Storm Shelters Near Me

Straight out of the gate, let me say, I wouldn't sell these products if I didn't believe in them. In fact, I have one in my own back yard. My wife and daughter mean more to me than words can describe. I want you to be able to have the same protection against severe storms that we do.  I spent 10 years in the Marine Corps, with 2 humanitarian deployments, 3 combat deployments, a former Deputy Sheriff,  and a loving Husband and Father. Protecting people is what I have always done.

 I worked in Princeton Ky in December of 2021 when a multi-state EF-4 (Potentially, EF-5) tornado violently ravaged our communities all the way from Arkansas to Louisville.  I had coworkers who lost their entire homes and lifelong possessions.  Friends who lost their pets.  As a citizen who worked in the affected area and as cleanup measures continued, I would find wedding pictures, class year books, family heirlooms, collectibles, artifacts, irreplaceable items that people had lost in the massive tornado. I spent months on social media tracking people down and helping return items to community members that were found miles away from the tornado's path. It was unlike anything I had ever seen.  Sadly, 89 lives were lost that night, 676 people were injured, and estimations of the overall damage totaled more than 3.9 billion dollars. We just didn't expect it and many people had nowhere to go when it happened. 

 I was moved by the events that took place and the destruction I witnessed. I knew I had to do something to protect my family from what I had witnessed in Princeton.  I had to buy a shelter! There was no other option. but, I had no idea who sold them so I googled, "Storm Shelters Near Me", and a light-bulb came on in my imagination.  I thought to myself, "If someone ever named there business that, it sure would be easy to find them on Google".  The dream came alive after I installed my first shelter. It was in my own back yard. I took pause after I was finished.  I sat down on the dirt, looked at my Wife and Daughter, glanced over at the new shelter, looked back at my girls and an immediate peace fell over me.  It was a feeling of peace and comfort, knowing they would be safe if a terrible storm came through again.  I want you to feel that peace too. I feel compelled to help others so they can have a safe haven when another tragedy such as that happens again. I realized, with family and friends' encouragement,  I could open a company that could offer the same feeling of security to others, and that's exactly what I did.
