Our founder, Charles “Butch” Gibbs the company in 1980. Butch got his start in the security industry in the 1960’s and after gaining several years of experience with a national company, decided to strike out on his own and start his own business.
From its inception, Customized Fire & Security Services has continued to grow with very little advertising, relying on referrals from satisfied customers, and has become a true family owned and operated business.
Ruth and Butch met and married in Austin, Texas in 1969, and moved to the Dallas area shortly after. Ruth spent many years working in the commercial real estate and property management industry. Upon her retirement from the commercial property world, and as Customized Fire and Security grew, Ruth became the full time office manager handling all of the day to day office operations.
