  Why More Corporate Executives Moving to Florida Are Rethinking Personal Security By Jonathan Kendall Florida has long attracted corporate executives, entrepreneurs, and high-net-worth families seeking favorable tax policies, luxury lifestyles, and year-round sunshine. Communities across Florida — from Naples and Palm Beach to Miami and Southwest Florida — continue to see an influx of CEOs, investors, and senior leadership teams relocating from cities like New York, Chicago, and San Francisco. But the conversation surrounding executive relocation has changed dramatically since the December 2024 murder of Brian Thompson, the CEO of UnitedHealthcare . Thompson was fatally shot outside a corporate event in Midtown Manhattan in what authorities described as a targeted attack. For many executives and affluent families, the incident was more than shocking news. It became a wake-up call. The New Reality for High-Profile Executives Historically, many corporate leaders focused security eff...

Authored by Jonathan Kendall The kidnapping of Nancy Gutherie (often cited in discussions of high-profile abductions involving affluent families) has become a quiet but influential case in shaping how wealthier households think about security. Its implications have lingered—especially among communities where privacy, visibility, and perceived safety intersect in complicated ways. A Shift in Perceived Vulnerability One of the most significant impacts of the case is psychological. Affluent families have traditionally relied on a mix of gated communities, low crime rates, and private security to create a sense of insulation. The Gutherie kidnapping disrupted that assumption.

This led to a subtle but important shift: security is no longer just about deterring random crime, but about mitigating targeted threats. From Passive ...

By Jonathan Kendall Short answer : wealth doesn’t eliminate risk—it often changes and sometimes increases it . Whether you “need” home security depends less on income alone and more on visibility, lifestyle, family, and how predictable your routines are. Why affluence can make you a target Perceived value: Larger homes, luxury cars, and visible upgrades signal higher potential payoff. Public footprint: If your business profile, social media, or public records highlight success, it can attract attention. Travel patterns: Frequent or predictable travel leaves homes unoccupied at known times. Service traffic: Contractors, staff, and deliveries increase the number of people who see your property layout. What risks actually look like We’re not just talking about dramatic break-ins and carjacking. Common issues include: Opportunistic theft (packages, unlocked doors, garage access) Targeted burglary (when routines a...

By Jonathan Kendall For many snowbirds, leaving Florida marks the end of warm breezes, sunny mornings, and coastal relaxation. Whether you’re heading back north for the season or splitting time between residences, one thing is certain: peace of mind matters just as much as the journey itself. Unlike typical homeowners, snowbirds face a unique challenge—being away from their property for extended periods. An empty home can become vulnerable if not properly prepared.  The good news? With thoughtful precautions, you can safeguard your home, belongings, and travel experience with limited stress. Why Snowbirds Face Higher Security Risks When a home sits unoccupied for weeks or months, it can attract unwanted attention from amateur troublemakers and professional criminals. Opportunistic thieves, unnoticed maintenance issues, and even utility failures can quickly turn into costly problems.  Additionally, long-distance travel introduces its own safety considerations. Awareness and pre...
