Pye-Barker Regional Director Kenny Klusman was featured in Security Sales & Integration’s advice series, sharing the best piece of advice he has received in his career.
Klusman credits his high school football coach for the mantra “BE THE BEST,” which has stayed with him through his professional career, helping him thrive in the security and life safety industry.

“How do we ‘BE THE BEST?’ Work hard, help others, be respectful and responsible and keep trying to improve. For me, this is the underlying principle of defining company culture and creating the best customer experience.”
