River Sentry was founded in the aftermath of the Central Texas floods in July 2025. The realization that no effective flash flood warning system was in existence at the time prompted founder Ian Cunningham, an airline pilot and ex-naval aviator, to form a small team with a single mission: Prevent Future Flooding Fatalities
The team, based in Liberty Hill, Texas, developed a new type of flood alarm system based on three principles:
Effect, Simplicity, Resiliency
Just 3 months after the founding of the company, the first River Sentry RS-1A was installed, and within 6 months, over 100 RS-1A's were in place along the Guadalupe River protecting campers, vacationers, and residents of Kerr County

Ian is an innovator and creator with a passion for solving problems with simple, resilient solutions. His career as an airline captain and naval officer has instilled in him a strong belief that flash floods are a deadly threat that can be mitigated with the right technology, and he now dedicates his life to realizing that belief.

Eoin built his career from the factory floor of Dell to being one of its Vice Presidents and has a huge passion for leaving the world a better place. He brings drive and organization to the team to enable us to deliver on our promises.
