Prior to joining the FBI, I was in the U.S. Army, and was a police sergeant in Fayetteville, North Carolina. My first assignment with the FBI was in the Chicago Field Office. While in Chicago, I investigated violent crimes, crimes against children, and civil rights violations. In 2006, I transferred to the Phoenix Field Office and was assigned to the Lake Havasu City Resident Agency, where I investigated violent crimes on the three Indian reservations. In 2018, I transferred to the New Haven Field Office where I was assigned to the counterterrorism program.
In 2019, I was promoted to supervisory special agent at FBI Headquarters and managed the Indian Country Program for the southern United States, including Phoenix, Albuquerque, and Oklahoma City. In 2021, I returned to the New Haven Field Office to supervise a squad that oversees nine different programs
Describe your most memorable case or investigative success.
All of my most memorable cases occurred while I was assigned to the Phoenix Field Office.
In 2012, I investigated the murder of a 2-year-old Native American girl, along with the aggravated assault of two of her siblings on the Fort Mojave Indian reservation. The suspect was initially taken into state custody. After determining the suspect was Native American, he was transferred to federal custody. The suspect was convicted and sentenced to 35 years in prison. Even though we got justice for the victims, the trauma and devastation to this family was incalculable.
