The Owners
Meet The Team
Montgomery Technology Systems, LLC is a subsidiary of Montgomery Technology, Inc. MTI was founded by Tim Skipper in 1987 and is currently owned by his sons, Nathan and Patrick Skipper. MTS and MTI are family owned businesses, which means that you have direct access to the shareholders, board of directors, and executives, and the company is personally invested in the success of its product and quality of work. MTS was started in 2007 out of a need for a qualified Security Electronics Contractor in the detention market. While the detention sector has a good number of integrators, there are very few (if any) who have the qualifications and experience that the Skippers and their staff have. Patrick Skipper serves as the President and provides design and management expertise. Patrick holds a degree in Electrical Engineering from Auburn University, a Professional Engineering license, general, electrical, and security licenses in multiple states, and a BICSI RCDD certification. Nathan Skipper serves as the Vice President. Nathan holds a degree in Computer Engineering from Auburn University, a Microsoft Certified Professional certificate, and has completed numerous design projects for the company.
