Skills:
I have been an instructor at the Southern Arizona Law Enforcement Training Center (Tucson, AZ), a field-training officer for new investigators at the North Las Vegas Police Department & Tucson Police Department. I have developed and implemented new forensic science techniques for obtaining latent fingerprints on the skin of deceased victims of violent crime (one of a hand full of experts in this science worldwide). I have over seven years of public service work history and knowledge as a Crime Scene Investigator. I have extensive knowledge of photography, journalism & TV production.
