In 2008, ADS Security was the SDM 2008 Dealer of the Year Honoree. Since then nothing — and everything — has changed at the company, which is the 2014 Dealer of the Year.
Back in 2008, I had just joined SDM Magazine as an associate editor. My last name was different — I hadn’t met my husband yet — and my perspective of the industry was fresh. That’s the polite way of saying I knew nothing. One of my first projects was managing the Dealer of the Year program. Later that year I wrote the 2008 Dealer of the Year cover story and also the profile of that year’s honoree, which was ADS Security, based in Nashville, Tenn.
