Federal criminal investigator at AFOSI who investigated a $50M corruption inquiry and helped recover $27M in fraudulent losses.

United States
Message

At AFOSI, I investigate complex federal crimes, including sexual assault, child exploitation, and violent offenses. I plan investigations, conduct interviews and interrogations, and prepare and execute warrants in coordination with prosecutors and judges.

At AFOSI’s Procurement Fraud Detachment 4, I investigated contract fraud and other economic crimes. I co-led a $1.8B civil and criminal false claims investigation with the Department of Justice, presenting forensic accounting evidence that helped secure recovery of $27M in fraudulent losses.

My work also includes digital and financial investigations, evidence management, and briefing senior military and legal officials. I hold an MBA in Government Acquisition & Contract Management and have training in criminal investigations, procurement fraud, and ICAC undercover operations.
