History

Established in 1995.

When company founder Dave A. named his venture Missing Link Communications, he was referring to the links in a secure chain of communications; for example, a computer network. If a link was missing, it could weaken or bring down the network. Dave A. started Missing Link Communications in 1993 as a sole proprietorship after retiring from a career in the US Air Force. Having an extensive background in secure communications, his desire, at that time, was to provide communications services to commercial and government clients. Dave found that his clients were seeking assistance in all matters of security. After President Clinton signed Executive Order 13 010 in 1997 to establish a Commission on Critical Infrastructure Protection, Dave decided to focus the company’s efforts on security. We continue to employ people who are passionate about the security of our country, our communities, and our information systems.

Dave A.

Business Owner

Dave founded Missing Link Security in 1995 after retiring from the US Air Force with over 20 years of experience in secure communications. When he became both a Virginia Special Conservator of the Peace (SCOP), with all the rights and responsibilities of a Virginia state police officer, and a licensed private investigator (DCJS# 99 207 799), these credentials created a demand for his services in forensic analysis and evidence gathering. Therefore, in 2006 Dave added PHYLEO LLC, a division of MLS, to deliver private investigation, personal security, and digital forensics services. He continues to lead MLS and PHYLEO with capability, commitment, and vision.
