A combat-proven leader and retired military veteran, I bring decades of experience in military law enforcement, logistics, and project management.

Views Are Mine and Not Associated with Any Organization🚨 🛡️ With over 16 years of law enforcement experience, I've dedicated myself to a mission: Protecting your financial well-being and bringing closure to victims of fraud. My specialization in white collar/fraud, cryptocurrency investigations, and elderly financial education stems from more than expertise; it's driven by a passion for justice and compassion for those I serve. Every investigation starts with a human victim, someone who may have lost everything to a thief. My greatest fulfillment comes from knowing that I've made a real difference in their lives, restoring their trust in financial systems, and contributing to the successful prosecution of those responsible or return of stolen assets. Data-driven and resourceful, I leverage a network of dedicated teammates to find successful resolutions. My joy, outside of my family, is the small yet significant differences made every day. When I'm not delving into financial records, drafting search warrants, or conducting interviews, I love spending time with my amazing wife and three children, embracing the wonders of God’s grace in our lives. Your financial security is more than a profession to me – it's a calling. Let's connect, learn from each other, and build a community where integrity reigns supreme.
