After I graduated with a bachelor's degree in public administration with an emphasis in Criminal Justice, I began my law enforcement career in 2000 with the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department assigned to Men's County Jail.  In 2002, I lateralled to the Burbank Police Department and served as a patrol officer, field training officer, detective, and sergeant. During my career, I distinguished myself as a shift leader in arrests and testified as an expert witness in criminal court.  I also served on our department's SWAT team and earned two Police Medals related to an officer involved shooting and an active shooter turned hostage barricade. I was fortunate to attend hundreds of hours of relevant training related to but not limited to; dating/domestic violence, stalking, physical and sexual assault, restraining order violations, robberies, and homicides. I later obtained a master's degree in organizational leadership and a master's degree in criminal justice. I left law enforcement in 2016 and began conducting private investigations. I moved to Alabama in 2022 because both of my daughters attended Auburn University and my wife and I fell in love with the area. I'm currently a licensed Private Investigator in the state of Alabama with over 26 years of investigative experience.
