About Me

I am a retired police sergeant who in 1997 left my career as a Certified Public Accountant (C.P.A.) to become a police officer with the Phoenix Police Department. Eventually, my passion for “cold case” victims and zeal for hunting the most elusive of serial killers led me to become a detective, and I spent more than ten years of my career in law enforcement working with an elite cold case homicide team that solved hundreds of murders dating back as far as the 1970s. 

In my twenty-four-year law enforcement career, I received numerous honors, including the International Association of Chiefs of Police (IACP) Excellence in Criminal Investigations Award, the Police Chief’s Unit Award, the City of Phoenix Employee Excellence Award for Cold Case Homicide Project, and multiple commendations from supervisors, citizens, and departments within the City of Phoenix.

I have earned an MBA in Finance and a master’s degree in Educational Leadership, and during my law enforcement career received extensive specialized training in such disciplines as cold case investigations training, digital evidence collection, crime scene management, intelligence gathering, and violent crime investigations, as well as being mentored by nationally recognized criminal profiler Richard Walter.
