Our Story:

Our Foundation:
A Blend of Technical Expertise and Business Acumen
HS Tech Group was founded by Stuart, who combined his extensive experience in his father’s contracting company with his formal education in computer science. This unique blend of skills provided him with a deep understanding of both the intricacies of service-oriented contracting and the transformative power of technology.
Stuart’s vision was further shaped by his interactions with Mark “Big Poppy” Recene, who shared his insights into the security industry. Recognizing the synergy between construction and security, Stuart saw an opportunity to create a company that would leverage technology to deliver sophisticated yet user-friendly solutions.
To bring this vision to life, Stuart partnered with Mark Shane, whose background in quality control for complex projects like The B-1 Bomber and Patriot Missile Launcher programs brought invaluable precision and organizational expertise to the company.
Our Evolution:
Meeting the Growing Demands
