Sabian "Bear" Ingram-CEO/Founder-Zero Tolerance Security

 Sabian “Bear” Ingram

I’ve been encouraged to consider strengthening my network of contacts by reaching out to industry leaders in product or artist management relative to my field of interest. Considering all aspects of products or artist management issues that may impact my chosen field. I’ve also conducted a phone interview with Mr. Sabian “Bear” Ingram, CEO and Founder of Zero Tolerance Security. Bear and I was introduced through Bobby Wilson, a mutual friend who he played football with at Morris Brown College. However, Bobby had transferred to Tuskegee Institute where we both met during summer camp.

I posed several questions to him regarding his company and how he got started in the entertainment industry. I used a question/ answer format to conduct the interview with Bear.

How did you get started in protective services?

I was born in Phoenix City, Alabama and attended Morris Brown College in Atlanta where I played left tackle. However, my senior, I torn my ACL and that’s when I began during event staffing for different venues throughout Atlanta. I began providing protective services after I’ve had several altercations with the same guy and was given a job as personal bodyguard because of how I handle the situation each time. I also hold numerous accounts for various venues, banks and celebrities in Atlanta, Georgia.

How many guards are currently working for you?

Now, I have 26 guards working for me total. I currently provide security services for Gucci Mane and Wacka Flocka. I have 6 guards that provide protective services for celebrities and 20 guards in event staffing. My company grossed $130,000 a year after paying out all employees.

Who were and are some of your clients today?

Some my past clients are Lil John, Young Jeezy, T.I, Gucci Mane, Black Shield Entertainment, and R Kelley. Furthermore, my current clients are Gucci Mane, Waka Flocka, Kamall, high profile real estate agents, Marcus McNeil, Leornard Pope, Antonio Gate, La Dainian Tomlinson, Quinton Portis, and Charles Grant and etc. However, there name of high profile celebs that I cannot disclose.


What role do you play in your business negotiations?

I am sole owner of my company and therefore, I handle all contracts and negotiations. Basically, everything that comes to the company has to come to me first because the company is presenting me or I’m representing the company. However, I have played different roles in the entertainment and music industry due to the fact that I work with celebrities. At times, I have played the management and promoter role when needed because I played many rolls within my everyday job and plus the closet to my clients.

In Conclusion, anyone interested in seeking security services should call Zero Tolerance Security in Atlanta, Georgia. I have witnessed them at work and I must say that they’re the best. There couldn’t be any better recommendations other than Bear or his company. For more information, please referenced the link below:
