In 1992, Big Sister Gina and Little Sister Sarah were matched, and 33 years later their friendship still shines!🌟 What started as a mentoring connection has grown into a lifelong bond built on trust, care, and shared experiences. Stories like Gina and Sarah’s remind us of the lasting impact mentorship can have, even decades later.💚 #BiggerTogether #MentorshipMatters

This is so cool! 🙌🏼💚 A huge thank you to Ryan Smith and Big Brothers Big Sisters Kansas City for inspiring these Littles to explore a future in drone technology and security. 🚁✨
President and Founder of Titan Protection ➤ Innovator Blending Cutting-Edge Technology with 20+ Years of Law Enforcement Experience to Deliver Affordable, Fast, and High-Quality Security Solutions
Our drone team did something I'm really proud of. They welcomed Big Brothers Big Sisters of Kansas City to our headquarters for the first "Big & Little Drone Zone" event. Thomas Keary is our Drone Automated Operations Manager, and he led the whole thing with his team. Tom and team showed these 6th graders and up some cool technology, and a potential future. They got live flight demonstrations, a tour of our mobile command center (which I was told the kids called the tricked-out van), and behind-the-scenes access to our dispatch operations. Our entire dispatch team stepped up as well to share their world with curious minds asking real questions about real careers. This is what I love about our team. Tom just joined us this summer, and he's already stepping up to lead things like this. We always talk about having the best people and the best technology at Titan. This is what the best people really means. Everyone on our team gets that we're not just building a security company. We're showing Kansas City youth that careers in drone technology and security are a real, achievable possibility. They can become top professionals in an industry that is literally taking off, and they can do it right here in their own backyard. Many thanks to Tom for leading this, to Brian Potter for coordinating, to all the folks at Titan who helped, and to everyone who participated. And thank you to Micheal Lawrence and Ellyssa Gallinger at Big Brothers Big Sisters Kansas City for the partnership. We're encouraging our team to become "Bigs" themselves and creating more opportunities like this. And I encourage anyone looking for a way to make a real impact on the future of their community (in the most rewarding way possible) to check out their local chapter of Big Brothers Big Sisters of America.
