Biography
For over 30 years, I have lived at the intersection of physical and virtual protection. As a private investigator and security expert, I’ve seen every tactic used to exploit human nature. Whether it’s a social engineer impersonating a CEO or a physical intruder posing as a utility worker (I did it on Montel Williams), the vulnerability is always the same: The Human Blindspot. My mission is to inform, educate, and empower individuals to override the instinctual default to trust and replace it with a Strategic Human Firewall™.
🛡️ The Architect of Modern Defense Technology alone cannot stop a criminal who understands how to hack a human mind. As the CEO of Safr.Me and Head Trainer at ProtectNowLLC.com, I provide the tools to build a governance mindset that stops AI-driven fraud and social engineering in its tracks.
I am also the architect of the CSI Protection certification. This program is specifically designed to transform employees from an organization’s greatest risk into its most resilient Strategic Human Firewall™.
🚀 From the Streets to the Boardroom My perspective isn't just academic; it’s forged from decades in the trenches.
PI Expertise: 30+ years protecting people from violence and crime in the physical world.
Best-Selling Author: #1 Best Selling author of five books, including Identity Theft Privacy.
Media Authority: A regular face on CNN, Fox News, and The Today Show, providing straight talk to millions about staying safe in a dangerous world.
🌊 Service and Stamina A Strategic Human Firewall™ requires discipline and endurance—traits I practice every day.
Homeland Security: Serving as a Flotilla Staff Officer with the U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary, I apply my security mindset to protect our maritime interests.
Endurance: As a 13-time Boston Marathoner, I understand the grit required to maintain vigilance over the long haul.
Personal Philosophy: All security is personal. If you aren't protecting your family at home with a Strategic Human Firewall™, you aren't truly protecting your organization at work.
