Success is rarely the result of one big moment. More often, it’s shaped by the habits we practice every day, the skills we keep sharpening, and the discipline we choose to maintain. For Hayson Tasher Sr., this belief has guided both his professional journey and the foundation of OLDPGS Security Management. His philosophy is simple: training and repetition create excellence, and investing in your own skills is always worth it.
Based in Gardena, California, Hayson has built his career on continuous learning, practical experience, and leading by example. His journey shows a real commitment to improving himself while creating opportunities for others through security services and training.
Building Success Through Training and Self-Investment
Hayson believes that “we are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit.” This principle has shaped every stage of his career.
The idea behind OLDPGS Security Management came from a moment of reflection. After looking at the collection of licenses and certifications he had earned over the years, he realized that he had invested enough in developing his own skills to build something of his own. That realization became the starting point for launching his company.
His commitment to learning did not stop there. He regularly spent time at Davis Security Training Center, searching for additional courses and asking questions that would expand his knowledge. Rather than viewing education as a one-time achievement, he treated it as an ongoing process. Every certification represents another opportunity to improve, gain experience, and prepare for future challenges.
For Hayson, the greatest investment is not found in the stock market but in developing valuable skills. He often points to Dave Ramsey’s idea that where people spend their money reveals what they value most. His own investment has always been directed toward education, certifications, and professional growth.
Experience That Creates Opportunity
One lesson Hayson continues to share is that opportunity often comes through preparation. Throughout his career, he regularly worked side jobs in addition to his primary security assignments. This allowed him to remain active in the field while gaining experience across different types of security posts.
Working with multiple companies exposed him to different training and operational methods. Some of those practices became valuable lessons that he later incorporated into OLDPGS Security Management, while others helped him understand what approaches were less effective. Every assignment became another opportunity to learn.
Today, the organization provides a range of professional services that include armed and unarmed uniformed security officers, free consulting, alarm response, SB 1626 school security, loss prevention, investigations, and additional security solutions designed to meet client needs.
What distinguishes Hayson from many others in the industry is his leadership style. Rather than managing from a distance, he continues to work in both the field and the office alongside guards and managers affiliated with OLDPGS. Staying directly involved allows him to maintain the same standards of professionalism and training that he expects from his team.
His dedication to excellence was recognized in 2023 when he received the Business Hall of Fame Award from the City of Pasadena, an achievement that reflects years of commitment to his profession.
A Vision Rooted in Excellence
Looking ahead, Hayson envisions continued growth for OLDPGS Security Management. His long-term vision includes retail locations featuring “OLD PATROLMAN BRAND” products such as security technology, tactical wear, firearms, and related equipment. He also plans to establish security training centers while creating an OLDPGS sister event dedicated exclusively to the security industry.
At the center of this vision is a desire to inspire others by helping them recognize opportunity. His own journey demonstrates that consistent training, practical experience, and ongoing self-investment can open doors that might otherwise remain closed.
The organization’s guiding statements “Security you can count on” and “Dedicated to a safe and secure environment” reflect the values that continue to shape its work.
For Hayson Tasher Sr., success is never accidental. It is earned through repetition, strengthened by discipline, and sustained by a willingness to keep learning. As OLDPGS SECURITY MANAGEMENT continues to grow, that philosophy remains the same for both professionals.
