What I'm looking for

I want to lead security operations where I can strengthen regulatory compliance, reduce operational risk, and modernize surveillance and SOPs—using intelligence-led threat assessment and measurable cost-and-performance improvements.

I lead enterprise security operations with “over 35 years of experience” protecting people and critical assets while “ensuring regulatory compliance.” I build and enforce security policies and SOPs, then translate that doctrine into practical, technology-driven surveillance and response capabilities.

I’ve spearheaded major initiatives that measurably improved performance and reduced cost—overhauling security operations with facial recognition to reduce overtime costs by 80% and delivering more than “$1M in the first year” through labor analysis. I also reengineered the unemployment hearings process, achieving “a 100% enterprise success rate,” strengthening HR policy enforcement and enterprise risk mitigation.

Across multi-unit casino environments and public safety work, I’ve led complex project transitions, crisis readiness, and workforce development. I authored and enforced hundreds of SOPs (including use-of-force and compliance procedures), designed a Security Control Room for “1,600+ surveillance cameras” with license plate and facial recognition, and built emergency operations resources for school districts—always grounded in intelligence, jurisprudence, and threat assessment.
