An independent rep, built on one-touch service
Stealth Knight Sales & Services is an independent Fortress Technology technical sales representative business founded by Steven Usedom in August 2025, after nearly a decade as a Fortress Technology Area Sales Manager and Director of Validations and Training for the Greater Chicago area.
That background means requests don't get routed through layers of departments — equipment selection, service coordination, validation, and parts all run through the same person who already knows your line.
The goal is simple: deliver Fortress Technology equipment, service, and validation for the area, backed by dependable, hands-on support.
