The company's tagline “Defense – A Family Tradition,” is a nod to Richie's father, Richie Petitbon, Sr., whose name you may recognize as a former NFL player and one of the top defensive football coordinators of his time. Richie often says “My dad designed defense for the Redskins, and we design defense for your home and business.” Richie enjoys hitting the gym and golfing, but his favorite pastime is spending time with his wife, Michelle, and their three sons, Richie, Luke and Carson.
