XA Security - Calgary
About XA Security
Chris’ path into crowd safety and major event management began at the University of Calgary where he was Vice President Events on the Students’ Union in 2001. It was here that he was exposed to the fundamental values of tolerance, patience, and diplomacy in difficult crowd situations. In 2004, he founded the company to staff local live events. In 2005, he brought the company into the security industry and over the following 15 years, grew the team to over 800 with offices in Calgary and Edmonton, and has established the company as a recognized crowd safety leader.
Today, in addition to leading the XA Security team, Chris is also a respected production manager of concert tours, music festivals, and major ticketed events with global experience. Among his many roles, Chris is the Production Manager for Grammy Award winning recording artist Zedd, and the Festival Operations Director for the annual FVDED in the Park music festival in Surrey, BC which hosts 25,000 music fans annually.
His strong relationships with government agencies and regulators are a result of his collaborative approach to site operations and crowd safety, and his successful management of large, ticketed events on government properties.
He is the Vice-Chair of the Event Safety Alliance Canada, and a vocal advocate of elevating global event and crowd safety standards. He is driven by ethics, social responsibility, and community building.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ In early 2014, I interviewed with XA Security, then known as Backstage Support Services, and was hired on a casual basis as a security guard. Within three years, I was promoted to supervisor, and am still employed there. It is my honest opinion that XA cares about its employees, and does whatever they can to improve our skills, knowledge and understanding of what a professional security guard should be. The security industry has a high turnover rate of guards, and XA is no exception to this. However, the person who trained me, the person who sat in on my original interview and the owner of this business are all still there, and there is at least one more employee who has been there twice as long as I have. I have made many friends while employed here, some who are still coworkers, and some who are not. If one is willing to put in the time and take advantage of the additional training the company provides, then this is a great place to work. If you are just looking for a paycheque, then I would suggest going elsewhere. After a layoff of almost 14 months, I came back to XA, and eventually gave up my full-time job to stay here. I would highly recommend XA to anyone who is interested in a security job, and it should be noted that some of our former employees have moved on to jobs in law enforcement and other high profile security positions. Thank you, XA, for being there for me!

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ X.A. Security is easily the best security company I have had the pleasure of working for. We're a strong company that prizes teamwork and professional excellence. The management team is extremely professional and attentive to the needs of their clients and guards. The training is top-notch as well and leaves you as a guard more prepared to respond to emergencies at a client's site. If you're thinking of working for us or hiring us, go for it, you won't be disappointed!
