Why Lincoln

Anthony was born and raised on the South Side of Chicago and attended De La Salle Institute. He is a fourth generation Chicagoan with roots in the Bridgeport neighborhood. He grew up in the security industry having entered it right out of high school. His early years in the industry were spent at McCormick Place where he lead a team that executed the security program for some of the largest trade shows and conferences in the country. In 2012, he founded Lincoln Security Services which has grown rapidly since inception. He is married to his wife Christine, a registered nurse and they are parents to their happy-go-lucky son Parker who is a thriving member of the special needs community. When not protecting the world, Anthony enjoys playing the guitar, golfing, & travel.

Mike began his career at Lincoln as a Security Officer in 2013. Being on the front line, with aspirations to become part of the Management Team, allowed him a unique perspective into Lincoln’s culture and operation. Using this insight, he created, pitched, and was promoted into an Operations Manager role shortly after. From there, he made the most difficult decision of his career, leaving Lincoln to gain more experience. Mike took a Job as a District Manager with one of the largest global security providers where he managed all financial and business operations for multiple vertical markets including the Company’s largest customer in Downtown Chicago. Always wanting to come back to Lincoln, Mike kept in touch with Anthony through the years and returned to Lincoln in 2021. 

As Executive Vice President, Mike uses both his early days on the front line at Lincoln and experience running a security business at a global provider to directly drive and continue the culture, operation, and trajectory of Lincoln.
