Remembering Major Bruce Netardus
Major Bruce Netardus was born Aug 8, 1958 in El Campo Texas. He attended Texas A&M University. He was killed in a training accident in 1992, leaving behind his wife, Susan, and two children, Matthew and Amy.
Matthew Netardus was born January 30, 1990 in Las Vegas NV. An athlete. much like his father, he played baseball and soccer growing up and transitioned to tennis in high school. He continued playing tennis throughout college. He loved the game and his family would argue that he spent more time on the tennis court than he did in classes. After graduating from Old Dominion University in 2012 he went to work at Target in loss prevention. In 2013, he started a new endeavor with his mother, Susan, opening a Security 101 office in 2013. The mother, son duo grew the office to a $5 million dollar annual revenue and recently sold their business. He continues to work for Security 101 as a design engineer and programmer.
Amy Netardus Nolan was born December 26, 1991 in Las Vegas NV. An athlete in her own right, she competed in gymnastics and competitive cheer throughout high school. She graduated from the University of Central Florida in 2014 and began a career as a dolphin trainer, which was her lifelong dream. After six years working as a trainer, she joined the family business and continues to working for Security 101.
