Physical Security & AI
For security teams navigating AI, operational change, technical enablement, and workforce readiness without losing sight of risk, people, or outcomes.
View the practice →Operators. Specialists. Problem-solvers.
Practical expertise for systems, projects, and the work behind them.
G&F brings experienced operators into high-stakes work—strengthening physical security and AI adoption, repairing construction operations, and supporting flooring projects with materials and labor.
01 / Consulting practices
Built by people who have done the work.
Each practice is led by an operator with deep experience in a specific field. The shared standard: diagnose the real problem, build what people will use, and transfer ownership to the team.
Construction Operations
For specialty contractors who need to find margin leakage, stabilize troubled work, and build project controls that can scale with the company.
View the practice →Physical Security & AI
Move from AI interest to operating readiness.
For schools, businesses, and every organization that makes its own security and technology decisions — we teach you how AI can help. From the analytics already built into your cameras to the AI tools your whole team uses, we show you where it fits, what it can solve, and how to put it to work.
Practice lead · Physical Security & AI
Joey comes from inside the industry — and uses that knowledge to advise buyers, not sell products. He knows the AI analytics built into today's surveillance cameras — what machine and deep learning can actually detect — and how camera placement and back-end infrastructure make that intelligence work, so you get straight answers instead of vendor hype. He also helps organizations implement AI company-wide: assessing readiness, matching tools like Copilot or Gemini to real use cases, and training the people who use them.

AI Readiness & Enablement Assessment
Assess your workflows, data, people, and the tools you already run — then turn the findings into a sequenced plan: what is ready, what is missing, and what to do first.
Leadership & Team Enablement
We teach your leaders and teams what AI can do now, how to use it in their actual roles, and how to direct it with prompts that produce real outcomes — not one-off answers.
Physical Security Strategy
Go beyond recording. We evaluate the AI analytics built into today's surveillance cameras — what machine and deep learning can actually detect — and help you become a smart buyer: what to ask vendors, what's real versus hype, and where the gaps are.

How the firm is built
One standard across distinct fields.
G&F Consulting is the consulting arm of G&F Total Solutions LLC. Each practice stays focused on its own buyer and body of expertise while sharing a practical, operator-led approach.
Operators, not theorists
Advice is grounded in firsthand operating experience, not a generic framework dropped onto unfamiliar work.
Useful systems, not shelfware
Every deliverable should help someone make a better decision, run the work, or catch a problem earlier.
Ownership transfers
The goal is a capable internal team—not permanent dependence on an outside consultant.
Start with the problem you need solved.
