“Monte touched many lives over the course of an exceptional career,” says Daniel Nix, vice president of sales-Americas, Bosch Security Systems, Communications Systems Division. “He was a mentor to many and helped take hundreds of individuals and companies to the next level with education and technology.

“The creation of the Monte Wise Scholarship—in partnership with our friends at the NSCA Education Foundation, with whom I am proud to serve as a board member this year—answers that question: Yes!
