I was born and raised in Salt Lake City, UT. I obtained my B.S. in accounting from the University of Utah. I was hired as a special agent for IRS Criminal Investigation in 2000 and my first assignment was in Las Vegas, NV. I spent ten years in Las Vegas, NV then transferred home to Salt Lake City about fourteen years ago. For the last twenty years or so, I have been detailed to the Drug Enforcement Administration and assigned to the Organized Crime Drug Enforcement Task Force and High Intensity Drug Trafficking Area task force. I have conducted hundreds of investigations involving the illegal distribution of all sorts of drugs to include opioids and complex money laundering schemes involving the drug proceeds generated from the distribution of drugs. I obtained certifications from the Association of Certified Anti-Money Laundering Specialists (ACAMS) and the Association of Certified Financial Crimes Specialists (ACFCS) to expand and fine tune my investigative skills. In my free time, I enjoy spending time with my daughter, rock crawling in my Jeep, and playing competitive baseball.
