San Tan Valley Burglars Busted

Check out this recent story.  http://pinalcountyaz.gov/Departments/Sheriff/Lists/News/DispFormA.aspx?List=b382d514%2D09a1%2D4490%2D80f0%2D4f0e76b7b4c9&ID=417

The local police and sheriff departments do a fantastic job around here but, after decades of law enforcement experience I can tell you, as much as they would like to be they can't be everywhere at once.  For every burglar caught and break-in solved there are dozens of others that just happen, with no answers to who did it or who is going to pay for the loss and damage. 

This is one of the primary reasons why Laurie and I founded My Arizona Butler.  Homes with no activity attract criminals and can make a homecoming a very stressful and costly event.  Most bad guys will case a property for a period of time before striking because they have no desire for someone to be in the house when they break in.  Most are not violent people and do not necessarily want to harm anyone, they just want money from your stuff.  So if they see frequent activity, they are very likely to move on to another house. 

My Arizona Butler's home watch and vacation watch service helps to alleviate these 
risks and concerns so you can relax while you are away.  Check us out and call us today to see just how easy and affordable it is to get the peace of mind you want and deserve.

A little more about My Arizona Butler's skipper

Hey Gang, I wanted to let you know a little more about the male half of the pair who takes care of things for you while you are away from your Arizona home.  I have spent my entire life serving others (significant irony in having the last name of "Lackey", eh?), first in the military both in the active duty army and then the Kansas Air National Guard, then with the region's largest civilian police department.  I left the military as a First Sergeant and retired early from the police department to be a stay-at-home father to my beautiful daughter. 

During the ensuing ten years, with moves to Virginia, Pittsburgh, and northwest Ohio before returning to Kansas, and the birth of my cooler than cool son, I did some amazing things professionally.  Along with being a retail manager in Virginia for a worldwide organization as well as a sales and training manager in Pittsburgh, I even drove limousine in Pittsburgh to help support my golf habit.  I think the most fun I got involved in professionally outside the patrol car, though, was when Amy Hartman helped me get into voice acting and her agent boosted me into on-camera acting.  What a rush! 

With the move to Ohio from The 'Burgh, I migrated into radio with Clear Channel and eventually took over my own station as program director and morning show host.  Needless to say, these were some incredible experiences that most people can only dream of, so I consider myself exceedingly blessed, both professionally and personally because my kids are the absolute best in the universe. 

I moved back to Kansas and after workign with the amazing crew in the 911 Center took the reins of a patrol car yet again and, as a service to our community, conducted hundreds of home checks for very affluent citizens that were away from their homes for months at a time.  That was my first taste of taking care of people's homes and I felt a renewed passion to serve, only on a much more personal level.  I even explained to citizens that I felt like their family's personal bodyguard ... a very cool feeling.

When Laurie and I moved to Arizona (her home state), it was a very simple decision to make my profession home watch and concierge services and so, My Arizona Butler was born.  And rest assured it is just that, my profession.  My incredibly diverse professional life has suited me perfectly for this business and it is the only thing I want to do for the rest of my life, partly from a long-time frustration from working for others but mainly from the sense of tremendous pride and self-satisfaction that comes from exceeded customers' expectations in serving them.  It is unbelieveably fulfilling.

Enough boring you with my life, but I wanted you to know who you are entrusting with such a large investment as your Arizona home.  I can assure you that no one will care for you and your home as personally and respectfully as Laurie and I.  We are very excited to have the opportunity and thank you for giving it to us.
