"My time as a police chief was an amazing experience from many perspectives, being a manager, people management and, of course, the application of the law, "said Unz." After nine years, the policy together with the position was finally made me ready for the next challenge. "
Unz embarked on a career in corporate security. Starting as a retail investigator / security officer for Walt Disney Company, which landed on a paper similar with Nokia, the global communications giant. In his nearly 11 years with Nokia, Unz rose through the ranks to eventually become head of the company corporate security for North America, headquartered in White Plains, New York. During that time, he also earned his undergraduate degree in criminology and a master in safety management from the University of Stafford. However, the entrepreneurial spirit that inspired 15 years to open his own business was calling.

Basically, the opportunity to take over the territory north of L & W in California encapsulated every experience of every phase of my career, starting with the operation of a store 15 to the safety of the departure of one billion dollars, the international organization, "said Unz.
