Recognizing and honoring our valued veteran security team members.
Meet Fred Henss, National Account Manager
Phoenix, AZ
Joining the Sunstates team in August 2023, National Account Manager Fred Henss is an excellent addition to the growing team, supporting many regions. His years of military service and leadership roles suit him well for his new position with Sunstates.
Military Experience
Fred served seven years in the US Navy as a hospital corpsman in a submarine. Stationed in San Diego, he traveled all over the world aboard the USS La Jolla submarine to places such as Japan, Hong Kong, the Philippines, Canada, the North Pole, and more. One key characteristic Fred took away from his time in a Navy submarine was creative problem-solving. He stated, “You really have to think on your feet.” During the first desert storm, Fred was recalled and remained stateside.
Sunstates Security
Fred joined the Sunstates team in August of 2023. Although he hasn’t been employed with Sunstates for that long, Fred exclaimed he already feels like he belongs. Working with several teams in different regions, Fred oversees a large client account with sites in Arizona, California, Colorado, New Mexico, and hopefully more!
When asked what advice he’d give to an officer joining the Sunstates team, he said communication. “Communication is key to being successful in your role.” Sunstates’ leadership team does a great job of being on-site and available to all our employees, and we encourage them, as Fred mentioned, to communicate if there is anything we can do to better support them.
Personal
Fun fact: Fred isn’t the only member of his family on the Sunstates team; his son is a Site Manager in Colorado! In his free time, if Fred isn’t with his family, you can find him enjoying the great outdoors in his native state, Arizona.
Fred, we appreciate all you do, and we look forward to your continued success with the company!
Also, thank you for your dedication to your country and your years of service.
