I spent 30 years working in law enforcement, first as a police officer, then 27 years as a DEA agent. I worked internationally for DEA in Bolivia, Colombia and Mexico and speak Spanish. I was passionate about each case and some would say obsessed, but that was what drove me to learn all of the tradecraft to achieve successful conclusions. Countless surveillance operations using all the latest tracking gadgets, undercover deals with hidden cameras and recording devices, interviewing witnesses, informants and defendants, deep dive intelligence research, finding people who did not want to be found, and going from arrest to sentencing in both state and federal court systems were skills I acquired over the years that effectively conveyed into private investigation.
