Growth, Grit, and Giving Back

Casey White and Ryan O’Donnell sit down for a wide-ranging conversation on The Chimera Cast, covering Chimera's exciting expansion into Rochester, lessons from their Adirondacks retreat (including a surprise bear encounter), and the recognition they’ve earned on the Inc. 5000 and Best Places to Work lists. They dive into hot topics in security technology, from weapons detection advancements to protecting hard and soft targets, and explore the impact of major regional developments like Micron’s arrival and the housing boom it’s set to spark. Along the way, they share stories of community involvement—from Wiffle ball championships to dragon boat races—and the importance of building a workplace where people are proud to show up every day.
