Based in El Paso, Texas, Advanced Security Contractors was founded in 1998 as a fire protection and security contractor by Virginia & Michael Robinson and Thomas Silva. ASC is a successful business that sells, installs, services, and monitors access control, video surveillance, fire, and intrusion systems.

All ASC employees remain dedicated to delivering the exceptional service customers have come to know and trust while also contributing to RapidFire’s expansion in Texas and New Mexico.

“After 26 years, we had grown ASC to a point where it was too large for us to manage at this stage of our careers,” said Virginia Robinson, owner of ASC. “Mike McLeod shared our vision for ASC’s future while ensuring the same level of care for our team.”

“The ASC team brings a wealth of experience and a strong track record of success to RapidFire," said Mike McLeod, RapidFire's CEO.
