Samuel
Griffin III

Samuel Griffin III is the founder of Leumas Security Services, established in Virginia in 1996, and a 30-year security professional. He writes books through Leumas Publishing and manages local teams of security guards through Leumas Security Services.

Earlier in his career, he worked in executive protection for presidential candidates, heads of state, and A-list celebrities — years on the front lines that taught him, up close, what vigilance, discipline, and courage really cost.

His faith is the engine of everything he does. His formula: “Pray about it. Work on it. Believe in it. Put action behind your faith.” His favorite scripture is Hebrews 11:1 — “Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.”

He is the co-author of Rent-A-Cop Reboot with Theresa M. Caldwell, and the host of the Protected and Purposeful podcast — where faith meets leadership.

Family anchors everything. His wife Imani Harris-Griffin has co-run Leumas Security Services with him since 2011, and his daughter Bella — the dedication of Safety Seal is signed “Love, Daddy” — is why he writes children’s books about staying safe.

And from a career spent talking people down as often as standing people up, he carries one conviction into every room: “A security professional’s best weapon is his or her mouth.”
