Recognizing and honoring our valued veteran security team members.
Meet Joseph Blevins, Site Supervisor: Dover, DE
In February 2020, Site Supervisor Joseph Blevins of Dover, DE joined the Sunstates team working at a large government building. He was nominated by the management team in the Philadelphia region for the Veteran Salute due to his profound demeanor and diligence. Joseph spent 24 years in the Air Force in roles that helped build his valuable skillset and gain knowledge that would help him in his future career in the security field.
Military Experience
As an Air Transportation Craftsman, Joseph was responsible for ensuring that cargo and passengers were transported safely and quickly. Other tasks were at the command/control center, sometimes coordinating with over 300 aircraft a day. Additional positions held were Air Advisor Training Instructor, in which he spent 6 months educating teams in Afghanistan, and as a Duty officer, having 350 individuals under him.
Joseph was deployed many times, spending time in Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Qatar, and spent seven years in Germany. After a 24-year career in the Air Force, he retired in 2014.
Sunstates Security
When asked what he likes about working at Sunstates, Joseph stated enjoys the structure at Sunstates Security. He said, “It’s close to home,” comparing it to his military career. Working at a Government center he always must be vigilant about what is going on around him. Joseph exclaimed, “We’re there for a reason, 99% of the time the site might be subdued, but you need to be prepared for the 1%.”
Personal
When not on-site working, Joseph spends his time with his family. He has been married 32 years and he now has three granddaughters that he enjoys making pancakes with on Sundays.
