Rouse’s experience encompasses fire products, services and technologies, and he was instrumental in designing what later would become the flagship GSSI product, the Guardian III, for which three patents are held.

Mr. Rouse’s early interest in the fire industry led him to a position as a fire technician in a fire protection company.  As he immersed himself in numerous training and educational opportunities, he joined GSSI in 1989 after becoming aware of the promise of residential fire suppression systems’ potential to save many lives.  It was then that he, along with several others, was involved in making modifications to the original Guardian system to design what would later become the Guardian III.

In his current position, Mr. Rouse ensures that all national and international sales, marketing and product branding objectives are achieved through profitable operational procedures.  He oversees the company’s finances setting policy and pricing, code enforcement issues and is a liaison with regulatory bodies.  He conducts national training programs for GSSI distributors and ongoing educational seminars about state and local regulatory compliance with fire officials.
