Instruction from real world experience
I am an accomplished criminal investigator with over 25 years of experience in federal law enforcement. I had an exceptional career with Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) as a firearms instructor, defensive tactics instructor, use of force instructor, and special response team member. I have been the case agent on several federal prosecutions that resulted in convictions after trial.
Before joining law enforcement, I was a proud member of the 1st Ranger Battalion, attaining the rank of Sergeant and becoming a Fire Team Leader before my Honorable Discharge.
