The Co-founders of Anchorman Inc. are Tom Giandomenico and Jeff Coates, two decorated SWAT trainers and tactical officers from Los Angeles. Giandomenico and Coates have breached hundreds of entries over their careers. During a raid in 2003 on a well-known outlaw biker gang’s safehouse, they were unable to breach one particular door. After many failed attempts and once the warrants were served, they noticed a device installed by the bikers to prevent entry. An idea was born and this was the precursor to the ANCHOR we have today. The patented “SAFE ZONE creation device” has gone through many design improvements and has come to be recognized as the finest tool of it’s kind among top security professionals.
