In August 2025, Charleston-based biotech CEO Bryan Kobel, 45, experienced a nightmare scenario that should serve as a wake-up call for business leaders everywhere. After canceling an Uber ride because the driver refused to accommodate his service dog, Kobel was suddenly and violently attacked in a parking lot. At 1st Veterans Security LLC, we design executive protection programs that eliminate these gaps and protect clients from both everyday risks and high-profile threats.
