What I'm looking for

I seek senior-level roles in investigations or security program leadership where I can apply investigative expertise, mentor staff, shape training, and coordinate cross-agency security solutions.

I am a seasoned federal special agent with extensive experience leading complex criminal and protective investigations across the aviation and diplomatic security environments. I have conducted over 150 criminal investigations, served in senior supervisory roles, and coordinated high-profile protective operations and multi-jurisdictional engagements.

I excel in investigative planning, program and personnel management, training development, and stakeholder engagement at senior government levels. My background includes leadership positions with TSA Investigations and the Diplomatic Security Service, advanced instructor certifications, and program oversight responsibilities including budget and contract management.
