Dever holds a bachelor’s degree in chemistry from the University of Colorado.

“I am very honored and thrilled about my expanded role with Inovonics,” Dever said. “Inovonics has been trusted to monitor and protect some of the world’s most mission-critical sites and precious objects because of the quality of its products and services. I believe in the way we do business, because our value begins with identifying our customers’ expectations and ends with their complete satisfaction. I look forward to not only expanding our current customer relationships but also to building new ones and helping expand Inovonics’ presence in its key markets for years to come.”
