About

I am a U.S. Army veteran and experienced Executive Protection professional with over three years of operational experience providing discreet, mission-focused security services for high-profile individuals, organizations, and major professional sports franchises. My background includes executive protection, VIP and close protection operations, armed and unarmed private security, and private investigative work. I have supported clients ranging from professional athletes and public figures to corporate leaders and high-net-worth individuals, operating in both public and private environments where professionalism, situational awareness, and discretion are critical. I have provided protective services for organizations and individuals including the Tampa Bay Rays, New York Yankees, Tampa Bay Buccaneers, and notable public figures such as Myron Golden and Dr. Sonya. My approach emphasizes proactive threat assessment, low-profile protection, and seamless client integration—ensuring safety without disruption. I am licensed in the State of Florida with both Class D (Unarmed Security) and Class G (Armed Security) credentials and operate with strict adherence to legal compliance, confidentiality, and ethical standards. As a Private Investigator, I bring investigative discipline, attention to detail, and intelligence-driven decision-making to every assignment.
