Professionalism and integrity are the definitive virtues of longevity.

As a Detective in CIB, I have been fortunate to work with and develop contacts within agencies such as Port Authority Police, NJ State Police, Federal Marshals and the FBI. Within the Bureau I have been lead investigator on cases such as domestic violence incidents, burglaries, robberies, missing persons, sexual assaults, child abuse and kidnapping. While tasked in CIB I was awarded the Excellent Service Award.

While employed with the Essex County Prosecutor's Office I was assigned to the Adult Trail Section and the Narcotic Task Force. Within the Adult Trial Section I was tasked with serving at the pleasure of my assigned Assistant Prosecutors; with trial preparation, witness/victim interviews, victim/witness location, testifying and report writing. As a member of the Narcotics Task Force I lead narcotics investigations, assisted the homicide unit in witness location and narcotic trafficking suppression details. I have authored and applied for many search warrants resulting in the seizure of illegal narcotics and firearms. While detailed in the Narcotics Task Force I was awarded the 2017 Essex County Valor award and the PBA Conference Honor Award.

While employed as Security Operations Director for FP Wellness. As a Director my roles and responsibilities were both extensive and diverse. I was tasked with developing policy, standard procedures and daily operations of the flow of people entering and exiting the site; ensuring proper documentation through this process and protecting property from theft, diversion, embezzlement, sabotage, trespassing, fire and accidents. The responsibility of formally reporting any unlawful incident directly to the Corporate Executive Officer is entrusted to me. Recently, I have developed security strategies purposed towards protecting individuals, property, and proprietary information from harm or misappropriation. Site control access is managed and controlled under my supervision. I have trained others to and myself been tasked to investigate and take the appropriate, lawful actions concerning accidents, incidents, trespassing, suspicious activity, safety, and fire. It is vital that I train each employee within security to neutralize situations calmly with tact and common sense, watch for safety and fire hazards and other related situations, enforce policies and procedures of NY State and Fiorello and provide assistance to customers, employees and  visitors within scope of security.

I am now a fire fighter for the City of East Orange, NJ.
