The SentrySix Story:

Built by Law Enforcement & Military Veterans, Driven by Innovation

The story of SentrySix began in 2016 with a singular vision: to bridge the gap between cutting-edge innovation and the rigorous demands of national security. Founded by Zach Rice, a veteran of the United States Air Force, the company was born from firsthand experience in the field. Having operated in environments where communication and security solutions simply could not afford to fail, Rice recognized an opportunity to provide a higher standard of service. He envisioned a premium firm that could deliver advanced tactical and commercial solutions to government and private-sector clients worldwide, built on the core values of integrity and precision he learned in uniform.

Beyond the technology, Rice founded SentrySix with a deeply personal mission to support the community he left behind. He saw the immense untapped potential in our nation’s veterans – professionals with unmatched discipline, technical expertise, and a built-in understanding of mission-critical operations. From its first day of operation, SentrySix was designed to be more than just a security provider; it was built to be a premier career destination for those who have served. By integrating veteran talent into every level of the organization, Rice ensured that the company’s DNA would always be rooted in a culture of service and excellence.

Today, SentrySix stands as a testament to that original commitment, maintaining a workforce where an average of 80% of all employees are military and law enforcement veterans. This isn’t just a metric; it is the engine of the company’s success. By prioritizing veteran employment, SentrySix provides high-quality, meaningful career opportunities to those transitioning out of the military, ensuring their skills are utilized to protect global interests. This unique perspective allows SentrySix to approach national security challenges with a level of tactical intuition and technical proficiency that few other firms can match.

As the company looks toward the future, the mission remains unchanged. From deploying advanced secure communications to providing comprehensive security consulting and physical security solutions, SentrySix continues to lead with a veteran-first approach. We are a company founded by a law enforcement and military veteran, powered by veterans, and dedicated to providing the highest quality of solutions.
