Open Options Appoints New South Central and Pacific Northwest Sales Managers

Open Options, the leader in open platform access control solutions, is excited to announce Shannon Diddell and Brent Mucher as the company’s new South Central and Pacific Northwest territory sales managers, respectively.

Diddell began his career in the security industry with Southeast Security Products, where he sold video, access control, and AV. Now with nearly 13 years of experience, Diddell will be focusing on enhancing partnerships in Open Options’ South Central region, which includes Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Arkansas, Oklahoma, and Western Tennessee.

“I’m excited to join a team with such a great company culture,” said Diddell. “Also, DNA Fusion is an excellent open architecture software platform that allows the dealer and end user to build solutions around many different technologies in the access control and video arenas.”

Brent Mucher is based in Sacramento and will be managing Open Options’ sales efforts in the Pacific Northwest territory, including Northern California, Oregon, Washington, and Western Canada. Mucher has been in the security industry for over 12 years holding various positions at Northern Video Systems, Tri-Ed, and Anixter.
