Gannon Smith
I became a Locksmith in the year 2019 and I was lucky to get to join the crew of A-MAX Security 2020.
I came to A-MAX Security because I wanted to learn how to be a safe technician opening safes that people could not. In the last four years I have learned a lot and I’ve gotten to help a lot of customers in need.
Just this year we installed the safe with the Clackamas County Jail that weighed over 7000 pounds and I’m very happy about that job because it went smoothly. The customer is happy. We got to learn a lot of new skills on how to move giant safes!
When I am not at work, you can usually find me in nature, either gold mining or fishing! I was even featured on an episode of gold Rush with Dave Turin.
I look forward to continuing to learn and help the community with A-MAX Security!
