Personal
 
I am drug & chemical free, no civil/criminal history, well referenced, good health and mentally and consciously stable. I am a serious and passionate person when it comes to protection, security and investigations, however, I am a realist with a good sense of humor and I am not over-zealous. Pressure, time deadlines, stressful itineraries and high client exposure is my specialty. My presence and personality is adaptable to any lifestyle and confidentially is respected and enforced.
 
I protect clients not only against physical harm issues, but also protect reputation and personal life issues as well. I investigate potential business affiliates, protect assets, pre-screen playmates, calm-down situations and perform many other protection aspects based upon my keen insight and due diligence abilities. I am down-to-earth without being egocentric, nor do I suffer from the "John Wayne Syndrome" or the "Chatty Patty" mannerism.  Please note; that I am not to be recognized nor confused with the basically trained glorified security guard and /or the once-upon-a-time rogue ex-cop. I am, and remain---a professional.
