Sense of Security
Author: Max Warfield
As a bodyguard and security professional, Chris Pinto is exceedingly empathetic to the needs of others, yet is sure to give himself proper time too.
For the 40-year-old Torontonian, 2017 was a foundational year for his view of a beautiful life. His path back then was carefully orchestrated; however, reality had other ideas. It was a summer filled with shock, pain and heartbreak. But now, as he reflects, his profound thoughts percolating, he will tell you he wouldn’t have it any other way.
As the oldest child with ten siblings, Pinto often dreamed of playing in the NBA, being an MMA fighter or a rapper. Yet, it was the security business that ultimately called him, a career central to his heart too.
Pinto identifies as a man who loves to protect and be there for others, and at the suggestion of his wife, pushed his progression from bouncer to bodyguard and security jobs. He combined his experience with connections that he had made over the years and started his own business.
“Security is preparation,” says Pinto. And yet, life brings its own surprises too. On a warm summer night just a year after his business launched he was badly injured in a traffic accident on his motorcycle. While most would be focused on their wounds and level of discomfort, Pinto fretted about his work responsibilities as the ambulance’s shrill siren grew in his ears.
