An industry veteran with across-the board expertise in law enforcement, investigations, and security management. I understand the complexities of this field. I know the challenges keep on coming.I’m referring to companies that need to safeguard their employees and operations; law enforcement agencies that require strong leadership, solid training, and in many cases meaningful reform; and communities that deserve safety, consistency, compassion and trust. I come from all these areas - I’ve lived and worked on all sides. I myself have trekked an unlikely path from the streets (as a kid) to the field (as a Texas State Trooper and investigator) to division and corporate offices (as a senior leader).Over the course of my career, I have…* Led complex, sensitive investigations- inside and outside of organizations.* Conducted, directed and improved investigative efforts on the US-Mexico border; in Colombia, across Mexico, Central America and Canada; and throughout Europe.* Restructured and reformed organizations.* Balanced strategic vision with in-the-trenches contributions, working shoulder-to-shoulder with peers to deliver results.*Empowered and mentored people from all walks of life.*Energized teams.*Managed budgets, including cutting costs and securing additional funding.*Built bridges between US and foreign governments, law enforcement agencies, community groups, and the public.*Designed and delivered powerful, informative training and advisory programs for diverse audiences including Congressional delegates, law enforcement officials, investigators, intelligence analyst, community groups, and the media.I’m the kind of professional who puts people first-always-but I also create solutions that work. I skyrocket performance, mitigate risk, combat threats, reduce crime, take down criminal organizations, transform cultures, and safeguard communities.
