Biography
A
leader of the alarm industry leader since 1969, John W.
Mabry is Past President of Security Network of America.
Security Network of America has 82 locations nationwide,
their annual revenue exceeds $390M and they continue to
exceed the growth rate of their peers.
John first applied his entrepreneurial skills by launching
a ground‑breaking franchise operation, that eventually
sold for over 1,000 times his original investment. Turning
his sights toward the alarm industry in 1969, John founded
and built the American Alarm Company into a multi‑million
dollar success story. In 1983, Honeywell Inc. purchased
American alarm. Announcing the acquisition, SDM magazine
stated, "the premier alarm company in the United States
has been sold to Honeywell".
Soon after the sale of American Alarm was complete,
Honeywell's management recognized John's talents and
quickly used his industry expertise to Honeywell's
advantage. From 1983 until 1993, John served as Vice
President of Honeywell's Protection Services Division and
later Vice President of the $3.4B Home and Building
Control business unit. John was instrumental in advancing
Honeywell's expansion activities that placed Honeywell in
the forefront of the North American market.
Throughout his career, John has sought to bring cohesion
to the alarm industry. As a result, his intent was
recognized by his peers who named him to the Board of
Directors and later as President of the National Burglar
and Fire Alarm Association. As President, John founded the
NBFAA's National Training School and grew membership 100
fold to 3,000 members. In 1972 John was appointed to the
Board of Directors and later elected President of the
Central Station Alarm Association (CSAA) which he
continues to serve as a director.
A
strong sense of family has driven John to become an
integral part of the community where he applies his
professional abilities to bring a sense of cohesion to the
communities in which he lives. A founder and Past
President of Xavier University's "All for One" program and
his service as President of the Cincinnati Police
Department association demonstrates his concern for a
strong community.
John has been married for 35 years and has four children.
The Mabry's have three daughters, all college graduates
and a son who graduated from the United States Naval
Academy.
