About

I bring over 20 years of experience in executive protection and tactical operations, built across U.S. military service, federal law enforcement, and high-threat private security contracting. Over the course of my career, I’ve protected political leaders, media figures, and private clients—always with a focus on discreet, strategic security in dynamic and often high-risk environments. My work has included leadership roles on protection teams for President Donald Trump’s campaign ,transition offices and at multiple summits for POTUS, executive protection details for Governor Ron DeSantis, and protective assignments for nationally recognized figures such as Sean Hannity. Beyond executive protection, I’ve conducted child recovery missions, high-risk warrant operations, and tactical deployments both domestically and abroad. I began my career in the U.S. Army, serving in Infantry and Military Police units, before moving into roles as a federal police officer, municipal police officer, and later as an operations director in the private sector. Along the way, I’ve developed a broad skill set that includes small unit tactics, protective security detail (PSD) operations, riot control, tactical medicine (TCCC certified), and advanced weapons proficiency with Department of Defense and State Department qualifications. Currently, I hold active armed security licenses in Florida, Texas, and Oklahoma. What sets me apart is my ability to remain calm under pressure, adapt quickly to evolving threats, and always put the mission first. From presidential protection to humanitarian recovery work, my career reflects a consistent commitment to safeguarding lives and assets with the highest level of professionalism.
