Meet Randy Nelson
Fortis Co-Founder and President of VFS Fire & Security Services
I was contacted by a trusted partner in the industry who said Fortis Fire was not like the other guys. The advice he gave me was, “it doesn’t hurt to talk.” and he was right. So I contacted Fortis, we met, we talked, I liked what they had to say.
