Maximo will be an invaluable addition to any team that has security as an essential part of the operation. I have known Maximo for more than eight years and can vouch that he is reliable, dependable, cordial, professional, and extremely hardworking. We worked in the U.S. Embassy in Caracas where he worked for the Diplomatic Security Office, responsible not only for the physical security of Embassy personnel but of antiterrorist efforts. I know Mr Semenzin as a colleague and I also know him as a fellow student, when in 2012 we coincided in a graduate course in International Policy and Law. Mr Semenzin continuous professional development is a testament to his drive, hardwork and commitment to continue to be an excellent asset and a remarkable employee.

I met Colonel Semenzin while I was serving as the Defensive Security Coordinator, Regional Security Office(RSO), United States Embassy Caracas, Venezuela in 2008. Currently AmEmb Caracas was transitioning from a Contract Guard Force to a Local Guard Force (LGF). Colonel Sememzin´s background as a Venezuelan Military Policeman, distinguished him from others in such areas as physical security, personnel protection, explosive ordinance disposal (EOD)and anti-terrorism. Areas that are highly desirable for any Diplomatic Facility. Venezuela was experiencing political turmoil of such proportions that a person of his caliber was welcomed. As the Principal Trainer for the LGF, Colonel Semenzin, insured that new candidates were trained in accordance with The Department of State, Diplomatic Security Service Program. This included monthly refresher training to ensure Guards were kept abreast of innovations. He insured that the Local Training Program was updated daily with new occurrences of the ongoing political threat and turmoil. His military experience includes training with The U.S. Army such as Ranger School and Explosive Ordinance Disposal (EOD). Colonel Semenzin´s knowledge, experience, leadership abilities and his people skills reflect great credit upon himself and any organization which he represents. I would not hesitate to serve with Colonel Semenzin in any future endeavor. If an organization looks for persons of his caliber, I will highly recommend him.
