Jacob Turner
President
I began working with Richard Yoerk and Express Personnel in 2001 as a key leader in business
development. In
2003 I took over the day to day management and development for Rovers Security, a subsidiary of YS2
Group,
the parent company of Express Personnel and Rovers Security. In May of 2007 I formed a new company named
RS Managements Services Co., which for that year managed all of Rovers Security’s event accounts. In the
beginning of January 2008 RS Management Services Co. purchased Rovers Security Co.
Prior to Rovers Security, I served 3 ½ years in the United States Army National Guard where I applied
discipline
and motivation in my role as Squad Leader. Security experience was obtained through various field and
garrison
security details. Later I worked in sales both outside and in, then became the General Manager of a
modeling
agency, putting to use my management skills as well as sales and customer service.
I have worked closely with the Oregon Department of Public Security Standards and Training to insure
that all
Rovers Security officers are certified and trained as required by the State of Oregon. In addition, I
have
orchestrated an internal training program designed to keep our officers proficient at the state mandated
skills, as well as offering new skills in customer service and numerous situational trainings developed
to
teach skills in handling threats and natural disasters.
I was born and raised in Portland Oregon, graduated from Benson High School attended Mt. Hood Community
College
and Portland Community College.
Eric Bjork
Portland Branch Manager
I am an Oregon native that grew up in the rural town of Newberg, about 30 minutes west of Portland. At
the
age of 10, I moved to Gladstone, OR where I attended middle school and high school, graduating in 1996.
Upon
graduation, I attended Oregon State University, where I studied both business administration and
Japanese
language. I decided to take a break from school in 1999 and found myself working various jobs,
eventually
finding my way into the restaurant industry. I worked as a server and assistant manager with different
companies
in Oregon, California and Washington, and have been working in that industry since 2001. In 2008, with
some
encouragement from my wife, I decided to finish my college education, so I enrolled at Portland State
University
where I studied Human Resource Management, earning my Bachelor's Degree in 2011.
I began working at Rovers in early 2012 as part of an internship to gain some real-world experience in
the
HR field. I returned to Rovers in 2013, and assumed the role of Human Resource Manager. I have been with
the company ever since, and consider myself lucky to be part of such a wonderful team!
I am a huge sports fan and am very passionate about the Portland Trailblazers. I grew up idolizing
Clyde, Terry,
Jerome and the rest of the Blazers and have followed them closely through the years (even the bad ones).
I love to enjoy the outdoors with my wife and kids so you might find us on the slopes of Mt. Hood in the
winter or playing some disc golf in the summer.
Cassandra Cason
Boardman Branch Manager
I bring more than 20 years of Human Resources Management experience and a demonstrated track record of
building
rapidly growing business infrastructure to the table. As part of the early technology boom in the
Pacific
Northwest, my role as HR Director influenced the successes of $50 to $300 million dollar companies. My
involvement
with 5 start-ups, whether the 3 rd or 30 th employee hired, garnered the valuable and tireless work
ethic
I bring to Rovers Security. Since coming on board, I have experienced roles in Security, Events, HR and
Field
Management, moving on to my current position as Eastern Oregon Branch Manager. My commitment is to
continue
to solidify infrastructure and contribute to the overall expansion goals company-wide.
A rare native Oregonian, I attended Oregon State University and valiantly rival the University of
Oregon Duck
fans in the organization. My passion is reading biographical history, big family-style cooking, petting
every
dog I see, and being a proud Nana.
Ally Turner
Office Manager
I began working with R.S. Management Co. in 2007, as a communications specialist. Between all the
staff and multiple job sites, it's no easy task keeping fifty mobile phones working
properly. It is an ongoing duty.
I’ve always been a people person, and I strive on customer relations. Therefore, needless to say, I
absolutely love what I do.
Prior to R.S. Management, I had several different jobs ranging
from performing car maintenance to being a licensed chiropractic assistant, an auditor, and an
interpreter. The list of different positions and responsibilities that I’ve been a part of is not short by any
means.
However, I keep going back to Customer Relations, and I pride myself in this department. Present me
with a problem and I will find a solution.
I am a proud wife of an entrepreneur and a mom of two amazing girls. When not working, I’m
spending time with my family, reading, or gardening.
Kyle Williams
Operations Manager
I graduated high school in 2004 and began my working life by joining the U.S. Navy. I served as a
parachute
rigger aboard the U.S.S. Kitty Hawk (cv-63) in Yokosuka, Japan. Upon completion of my tours, I returned
home
to Portland, Oregon. I began work as a supervisor with an exterior building maintenance company in 2007.
During that time I was responsible for 3 different crews of 4 individuals. I heard about Rovers Security
from a friend in 2009, and have been with the company ever since.
I was raised in the south with strong southern values. During my time in the Navy, I learned that
through teamwork,
success is inevitable. One of my mottos’ is: We succeed as a team or we fail as a team. Adaptability and
being able to overcome obstacles is one of my strong points, and is a necessity to work at Rovers
Security.
No matter how unique our clients’ needs are, we will succeed through our teamwork and communication.
Paul Palmer
Assistant Manager
I started with Rovers in March of 2012. I have worked most of our corporate sites and events. In
October of
2015, I was asked if I would join our Supervisor team. I gladly accepted and have worked as a supervisor
for both our corporate sites and events. I recently accepted a new challenge with the company, becoming
Assistant
Field Manager, and look forward to the adventure ahead of me.
I have had many jobs over the years; from retail sales, to driving truck across the United States.
Every job
has had its challenges, both good and bad. Rovers is one of the few companies I have worked for that I
feel
is more than just a job. I am grateful for having the opportunity to work for and grow with them.
Paul Monroe
Assistant Manager
I've lived in Oregon my entire life. After I graduated high school in 2008 I had various jobs before
joining Rovers in 2013. I heard about them from a friend who worked for Rovers and knew that I had an
interest in working security. After working corporate sites for several years I became a supervisor in
2016. I have enjoyed my time here and have gained a lot of valuable experience. Outside of work I am a
pretty big sports nerd. I'm a huge fan of the Blazers and Ducks. Still waiting for a championship. I
love playing basketball and I'm able to play at open gyms a couple of times per week.
Zach Christensen
Assistant Manager
I was born in Pendleton, Oregon; “Let ‘er Buck!” Shortly after I was born, my family moved to the
neighboring town of Hermiston where I lived out my childhood until middle school when we moved to
Stanfield, Oregon. Stanfield is a one-stoplight, everyone knows everyone, quad-riding in the middle of the
road, and donkeys are vehicles kinda town. I worked retail for about three years and have been in customer
service for my entire work life. I came to Rovers Security from the Air Force where I was Security Forces
(Military Police). I learned so much and the experience was life changing!
When I first started here at Rovers in 2016 I knew no one, but the company camaraderie quickly changed
that! I started my Rovers journey working at a site out in Boardman, Oregon; working a gate where we
control access. After that I moved to a patrol roving officer, and then became a supervisor. Shortly after
my promotion to supervisor, I had an awesome opportunity to become a site supervisor for a brand new
contract. I took the bull by the horns and gave it my best! I learned so much from that experience, and
continue to learn from it. About one year later, I was promoted to Assistant Manager where I am today! I’m
so thankful for everyone who’s helped me get where I am, many of them are also with this amazing company!
Danny Delmar
Supervisor
I am 31 years old I am from Kelso Washington. I started with the company on March 13th 2018. I started
with the company because it was a good job opportunity something different and I absolutely love my job.
I was recently promoted to Supervisor. I have 2 children a boy and a girl. I guess I enjoy being a
security guard because I’m good at the job, and am always alert about my surroundings at every job site.
