From 1994 through 2007 I was a police officer at the Tampa police department. The focal point of my career was my tenure on SWAT & a plain clothes narcotics officer that was part of the ATF task force. I employed 11 confidential informants, wrote search warrants, bought and sold cocaine for a living, jumped out of helicopters and kicked in doors with the swat team. As a private investigator, I focus on executive protection, child custody, and infidelity investigations, and surveillance. I also process several comprehensive background checks weekly. For almost 17 years, I have also owned a Medicare focused insurance brokerage with a downline of 18 agents from Clearwater Beach to Jacksonville, Florida. I look forward to Minnecting about either of the two areas in which I am an expert. I would enjoy providing guidance to see if a private investigator could assist you in your situation, or answer questions about being an insurance broker or taking the next step in an insurance sales career. 

I currently hold the rank of Sergeant at a central Texas police agency. I have held the rank of K9 Officer, Union President and SWAT operator for a multi agency unit. I am an expert in Texas and United States Supreme Court case law to include DWI and Roadside interviews.
