In my early days, I worked for a detective agency and developed the skills of social engineering and pretext. For those of you not in the know, social engineering and pretext are lying to extract confidential data. Not one to work for another, I opened a skip tracing service which specialized in obtaining information, like phone, bank, travel, and other types of private records. These tools made me a deadly skip tracer; skip tracers track people down. I could locate most people in most parts of the world. My philosophy was, if you could afford it, I can find them!

Eventually, I found myself in the business of vanishing people who needed to disappear. I work with victims of stalkers, abused spouses, and the occasional individual in the crosshairs of a killer.  I authored the New York Times Best Seller, How to Disappear.

A few years back, I stumbled into the online romance scam business, and boy was it an eyeopener. I identify dating scammers, military frauds, oil rig fakes, as well as help recover funds sent. 

Last but not least, my expertise has taken a unique turn as a blackmail and sextortion consultant. I help to combat the blackmailer and create digital disinformation to protect against online exposure. As odd as it may sound, I use deception, to create favorable resolutions.
