Co-founders Ron Morrison and Randy King began building the company and client base in January 2004. However, the roots of their professional relationship date back to 1982, when they worked together in a municipal fire department east of Houston, Texas. The relationship continued into the 1990s when they both held positions at Six Flags Theme Parks in the Safety and Risk Management Division. During this time, Morrison and King began developing much needed leadership training based on their collective knowledge of leadership in emergency management services. Morrison continued his professional career in public education, advancing to Director of Fine Arts for the Leander Independent School District in Texas. King continued his professional career at Six Flags, advancing to Corporate Director of Risk Management.

Morrison and King have spent the last two decades involved in a wide variety of leadership and public service. Both are active in non-profit organizations where they develop leadership and emotional intelligence within participants. Morrison and King recombined their talents, formally launching Solutions and Specialized Innovations, Ltd. (SASI) in January 2005.
