As a U.S. Army Combat Veteran with over 14 years of experience in security operations, I’ve successfully safeguarded critical assets and ensured personnel safety in high-stakes environments. I have developed and implemented strategic security plans, leading teams of up to 140 members in executing complex operations for military, corporate, and Fortune 500 companies.I began my military career as an infantryman, later transitioning to the role of Counterintelligence Special Agent, where I led investigations into foreign intelligence activities, working closely with agencies like the CIA, NSA, and FBI. This experience sharpened my expertise in insider threat management, intelligence gathering, and personnel vetting, saving millions by streamlining screening processes. I optimized intelligence operations by eliminating inefficiencies, improving resource allocation, and mitigating risks.In the corporate sector, I’ve held leadership roles in security management, most recently as a Regional Security Director at Allied Universal Security. I directed a team of professionals responsible for securing over 350 multi-tenant buildings and high-rise properties. I spearheaded initiatives like upgrading surveillance systems and implementing real-time data analytics, which reduced response times by 30%. I also introduced mobile incident reporting systems that improved team coordination and communication.A key aspect of my career has been training and mentoring, having coached over 150 employees and trained 2,500+ merchants on safety best practices and compliance regulations. This hands-on experience in developing a security-focused culture has been crucial in risk mitigation and operational safety.I hold a TS/SCI clearance with a CI Polygraph, which enables me to handle highly sensitive information with professionalism and discretion. My focus has always been on continuous improvement, staying ahead of emerging security trends, and integrating new technologies into security protocols.When not working, I enjoy reading about geopolitics, playing the piano, hiking, and spending time with my family. While currently based in California, I am open to opportunities in South Florida, where my family resides, and look forward to contributing my security leadership expertise to dynamic teams focused on safety and operational excellence.
