In 1956, Kennett Taylor, a successful Sales and Marketing Director for a major corporation grew tired of the traveling that was required for his job. Looking for a business opportunity that would keep him close to home, he noted the rapid grown of the number of trade shows and conventions. Subsequently, he founded Taylor Security Services and within a few years TSS became the major supplier of security services for Tradeshows and Conventions in the Dallas/Fort Worth, Texas area.
Dan Taylor, Sr. joined his father’s company after retiring from the U.S. Army. Dan, Sr., had served 22 years on active duty in the United States Army and one of his duty assignments was with the Military Intelligence Service. During that time, he worked on various sensitive Assignments and was cleared to handle top-secret materials and documents. In 1984, Dan, Sr., changed the mission of the company from a security guard company to a national consulting and security management firm and established Dan Taylor & Associates. The firm grew rapidly by gaining security Agreements with many of the top two hundred trade shows.
