Our Story

At NFG Security, we are a testament to the power of dedication and passion. Founded in July 2022 by Ray Maestas, a decorated retired Army Veteran with over two decades of service as a Special Agent, and Stacey Fiore, who has over 28 years of professional experience both in the field of law and security. Our company emerged as a response to the need for top-tier security services in not only their communities of Hollywood FL but for the entire state of Florida as well.


Ray’s extensive background in handling security matters including investigations, risk assessments, and crisis management ranging from residential settings to the Pentagon, combined with Stacey’s precise attention to detail, organizational prowess and extensive experience in the legal field, laid the foundation for NFG Security. What began as a vision quickly transformed into a reality, with our small business flourishing and gaining over a million dollars in revenue within the first seven months of operation
