During my 20 years as a special agent, I was fortunate enough to work on a variety of cases; primarily those involving fraud, money laundering, and terrorism. Alongside US Attorney's Offices throughout the country, I led investigations that took me all over the world and which resulted in the prosecution of individuals and businesses whose losses ranged from $0 - 770 million. “The chase” never got old for me and I took great pride in holding those who victimized others accountable for their actions. This demanded a variety of skills and abilities that took years to develop and which I am still looking to improve. These include:• Reviewing, analyzing, and summarizing voluminous amounts of complex financial data• Interviewing hundreds of individuals from all walks of life such as partners of large international accounting firms, prisoners, and everyone in between; often under adversarial circumstances• Testifying before grand juries and in federal courts• Engaging in enforcement actions such as surveillance, arrests, search warrants, and undercover operations• Seizing and forfeiting money and assets• Writing reports of interviews, affidavits, and working with attorneys on indictments, sentencing memorandums, and briefs• Collaborating with the US Attorney's Office on a near-daily basis• Confronting dangerous situations as an expected part of the job
