Our Story

Built on immigrant roots, hands-on work, and a commitment to protecting local businesses.

HiohSec started with my family's story. My parents came to Ohio as immigrants and spent decades working in greenhouses and nurseries. They kept operations running even through the toughest seasons. That work ethic shaped how I see responsibility and what it means to support a business.

I grew up in that environment as a first-generation American. HiohSec began with the goal of helping the industry that supported my family, but it became clear that many small businesses in Ohio face the same security gaps. Today, the company supports any local business that needs practical, affordable cybersecurity

HiohSec is based in Cleveland and in its first year. The mission is simple: protect small businesses with clear, reliable, hands-on support.

The town square near the ranch where my dad grew up caring for animals and working from a young age. He migrated to Ohio at 13, where he built a life rooted in cultivation. His journey shaped the values that guide HiohSec today.

Where I learned to lead by training crews, managing jobs, and solving problems under pressure. Working in my dad's landscaping business taught me how to earn trust through consistency and care. That same mindset now drives HiohSec's mission to protect small businesses with the same hands-on discipline my dad expected from his crews.
