Mr. Rugen is an exceptionally motivated and determined individual, who possesses the ability to combine technical competence with tactical aptitude. From the beginning, my impression of him as an instructor during training was and still is impressive. His attention to detail and self-driven motivation to learn were apparent in his eagerness to attend training and continues to the present, which is apparent with his success within the nightclub security and consulting industry. His success and effectiveness in accomplishing professional initiatives, both in establishing himself and in seeking guidance from those who could offer their experience and knowledge spoke for themselves as they far exceed the average graduate. He accepts assignments willingly and without hesitation and his flexible attitude facilitated opportunities for growth in a variety of dynamic environments. I duly recommend Zachary Rugen for consideration within any security capacity.
