Summary

When you're breaching a door at 0300 or managing a fluid threat environment, there's no room for hesitation—only disciplined execution and sound judgment. That's the foundation I've built over nearly two decades with the South Bend Police Department, serving as a Patrol Supervisor, SWAT Operator, and Drug Unit Investigator. Now, as Co-Founder of Invictus Protection & Investigations, I'm ready to bring that operational expertise. Executive Protection and Security demands someone who can plan secure movements, conduct threat assessments, and respond decisively under pressure. I've done exactly that throughout my law enforcement career—coordinating high-risk operations, conducting advance reconnaissance, and maintaining tactical composure in dynamic environments. My SWAT experience has honed my firearms proficiency and crisis management capabilities, while my supervisory role developed the discretion and communication skills essential when working with senior stakeholders. I maintain LEOSA authority and hold a valid U.S. passport, ready to support protective operations domestically and internationally. My investigative background provides the analytical mindset needed for intelligence-driven security planning, and my tactical medical training ensures I can respond effectively in emergencies. More importantly, I understand that executive protection isn't about the spotlight—it's about enabling principals to focus on their mission while you manage the threat landscape invisibly. I'm prepared to relocate and embrace the flexible schedule this role requires. I'm ready to ensure your team can do that work safely. I'd welcome the opportunity to discuss how my operational background aligns with your protective program's needs.
