Safeguarding to Innovating: Cecil Jentges’s Journey Across I
Early Roots in Security and Investigations
Cecil began his career protecting others, building a strong foundation in intelligence analysis, private investigations, and executive protection. In those early years, he honed a meticulous approach to risk management that would become a hallmark of his later work. He co-founded Risk Solutions Unlimited (RSU) , an innovative security, data, and outreach company serving communities in Washington State. In that role, Cecil didn’t just provide protection – he looked for creative ways to better serve the community.
Notably, he was the creator of Washington State based Safety Agent program, an initiative that trained dedicated safety personnel to work alongside law enforcement and social services. These Safety Agents took a proactive, empathetic approach to keeping city streets safe while connecting vulnerable individuals with resources. Cecil also gained international experience with Accepted Risk International, tackling security challenges on a global scale and broadening his perspective beyond his hometown.
Through these efforts, he made a tangible impact on public safety and reinforced his belief that security is not a privilege for the few, but a fundamental right for all. These early ventures in security and investigations shaped Cecil’s perspective on problem-solving and trust, principles that would guide him as he moved into new domains.
Pivoting into Tech and AI
As technology began transforming every industry, Cecil saw an opportunity to bring his security mindset into the tech world. He founded Torque Vision Labs to explore AI-driven solutions, initially applying cutting-edge techniques to enhance intelligence gathering and threat assessment. This foray into technology deepened his technical expertise and sparked a passion for automation and efficiency. Building on that momentum, Cecil launched Worksource.ai, a venture dedicated to automating and optimizing business processes and workforce management.
Through Worksource.ai, he helps companies streamline operations by leveraging artificial intelligence – reducing routine workloads and freeing up human teams for more strategic, creative tasks. For Cecil, technology is not about replacing people; it’s about empowering them. He envisions AI as a tool to augment human potential, enabling businesses to operate smarter and more effectively. Moreover, he is committed to making these advancements broadly accessible, designing solutions that benefit organizations of all sizes, not just those with big tech budgets.
This human-centric, outside-the-box approach to tech innovation has defined Cecil’s transition from security expert to tech entrepreneur.
Expanding into Health, Wellness, and Finance
As his career progressed, Cecil expanded beyond security and tech into health, wellness, finance, and even sustainable energy. He took on a leadership role at Legacy Wealth Building, applying his strategic acumen to the world of financial planning and fintech. Through Legacy Wealth Building and Jentges Capital, an international Bank with licenses in Europe, Africa and Asia, he helps individuals and companies secure their financial future – mirroring his protective instincts by safeguarding assets and legacies in the financial realm. Just as he once shielded clients from physical threats, he now works to shield them from financial risk and uncertainty.
Around the same time, Cecil ventured into the wellness industry. He co-founded Triple Crown Health & Wellness and MacuZyme tackling challenges in nutrition, preventive care, and holistic health solutions. Just as he believes in protecting people’s physical safety, he is passionate about bolstering their well-being. These ventures develop products and services that improve quality of life – from innovative supplements to wellness programs – reflecting Cecil’s view that health and safety go hand in hand.
Cecil’s portfolio even extends into sustainable construction with Squared Roofing & Solar, where he promotes integrating clean energy solutions into homes and businesses. By combining roofing services with solar power installation, this venture supports safer, more resilient communities through energy independence and environmental stewardship. This wide array of businesses might seem eclectic, but they share a unifying thread: each one identifies an area where people’s lives can be improved – whether through safer homes, healthier bodies, or more secure finances – and delivers an innovative solution to meet that need. For Cecil, entering a new industry is just another opportunity to apply his problem-solving mindset and make a positive impact.
Values at the Core
For an entrepreneur with such a broad spectrum of enterprises, Cecil Jentges’s guiding philosophy remains remarkably consistent. At the heart of every project he undertakes, he places people first. His work is grounded in a humanist ethos: technology and business should serve human needs and strengthen communities. This principle is evident in how he designs his companies and products – each venture is approached with an eye toward equitable access and inclusivity.
Cecil is adamant that advancements in AI, health, or finance should be available to all, not just a privileged few. He also maintains an intentionally apolitical stance in his work, focusing on solutions that unite rather than divide. In his view, safety, health, and prosperity are universal goals that transcend politics.
These core values of fairness, accessibility, and empathy are the compass guiding every decision he makes. Colleagues have noted his ability to think outside the box and spot connections between disparate ideas, but also his unwavering commitment to doing the right thing for end-users and communities.
By keeping these values at the center, Cecil ensures that innovation never comes at the cost of integrity or humanity.
Community Impact and Vision
Beyond his business ventures, Cecil Jentges remains deeply involved in and inspired by his community. In 2015, he authored Bellingham (Arcadia Publishing), a book that captures the rich history of his hometown of Bellingham, Washington. This project highlights Cecil’s appreciation for the people and places that shaped him, and his desire to preserve and share their stories.
His contributions to public safety, such as the pioneering Safety Agent program, continue to influence how communities in Washington approach collaborative security and outreach. Even as he has moved into new industries, Cecil often lends his expertise to advise on safety initiatives and mentorship programs, reinforcing his belief that everyone deserves to feel secure and supported.
As a family-focused individual, Cecil takes pride in balancing an ambitious career with his personal life. He often emphasizes that the true measure of success is the well-being of those you love and the community you serve. Reflecting this belief, Cecil authored and illustrated a heartfelt children's book for his sons titled How Dreams Come True, sharing the touching story of how he and his wife met, while celebrating her inspiring journey as a nurse during the COVID-19 pandemic. Moments like these reveal a deeply personal side of Cecil, grounding his entrepreneurial endeavors in genuine care, empathy, and appreciation for family and community. Despite a packed schedule, Cecil makes sure to participate in community events and cherishes quality time with family—experiences that continuously inspire his commitment to creating solutions that make the world better for everyone.
Looking ahead, Cecil Jentges shows no signs of slowing down. He sees a future where the lines between industries continue to blur, and where complex challenges will require collaborative, cross-sector approaches. Far from being daunted, he is energized by this future. He envisions himself at those intersections, building bridges between technology and humanity, business and community. Whether it’s through launching a new tech startup, developing a health innovation, or mentoring the next generation of entrepreneurs, Cecil remains committed to leveraging innovation to create a safer, healthier, and more equitable world.
His journey from the security field to a cross-industry innovator stands as an inspiration that with vision and values working in tandem, one person can drive meaningful change across many facets of life.
