After 25+ years in LE and as a CLPE, I can't image doing anything else. After countless thousands of crime scenes, God only knows how many comparisons I've done and qualifying as an expert 100+ times in multiple counties in California, I can easily say that the work still geeks me out! It's a game/puzzle that makes me use the 5 lbs. of fat that separates my ears. I've been truly blessed to have been mentored by some of the best in the business and I count it an honor to pass that knowledge on to the next generation. I've been able to share that knowledge with my Alma Mater, CSU Fresno in the Criminology 113 program, acting as the Tech Lead for the CA DOJ Latent Print Technical Advisory Group (TAG) and as a Subject Matter Expert (SME) for the State of CA. It's also allowed me to lecture locally and statewide and even contribute to organizations like the IAI, California Friction Ridge Study Group, California Association of Criminalists, Central Valley Arson Investigators and as an instructor for Uncover Forensics.KNOWLEDGE CONTAINED-DIES.KNOWLEDGE EXPLAINED-THRIVES.
