In March of 1991 Danny Forrest started Advantage Security Access, Inc., ASA, with the goal of becoming the best security alarm company in Houston, Texas. Hard work, dedication and a unique commitment to customer satisfaction has caused a steady growth at ASA for 14 years. Mr. Forrest started in the security business in 1978 in Dallas. In 1983 he moved to Houston to start Certified Security Services, a guard and patrol company.  Certified developed into a diversified company doing guards & patrols plus security and video systems.  When Advantage was started in 1991 Mr. Forrest decided not to continue in the guard and patrol business but to concentrate all efforts on technology.  In 2005 Mr. Forrest changed the name of the company to Advantage Security Integration to more closely describe the type of leading edge high-tech company they had become.  Today Mr. Forrest and ASI is recognized as a leader in the integration of fire, intrusion, video, and access systems.
