Summary

With an extensive career spanning over two decades in law enforcement and security management, I bring a wealth of experience and a proven track record of ensuring public safety, conducting thorough investigations, and implementing advanced strategies for criminal cases. Commencing as a New York State Trooper, I diligently enforced the criminal laws with precision while conducting comprehensive criminal investigations. I transitioned into a civilian management role and excelled as the Team Security Manager for the New York Knicks, overseeing logistics, travel, and dignitary protection for players. During my tenure, I was promoted to Senior Manager at Madison Square Garden and was tasked to orchestrating comprehensive security operations, which included collaborating with law enforcement, and playing a pivotal role in dignitary protection for high-profile events. Currently, I am serving as a Police Officer at the Medical University of South Carolina, I continue to apply my expertise in criminal investigations and analytical skills to ensure a safe and secure environment.
