Being a professional Private Investigator I am filling an essential role in society by conducting specialized investigations and gathering crucial information that may not be accessible through conventional means. I utilize expertise and resources to uncover the truth, resolve complex issues, and assist in legal proceedings. I can provide a valuable service by offering personalized attention, maintaining confidentiality, and filling the gaps where law enforcement agencies may not have the capacity or resources to focus on specific cases.
 
I am the founder of two Private Investigation firms. PHYLEO, LLC in 2006 and after relocating to southern Virginia from northern Virginia, Cavalier Security Services in 2020. I am a licensed Private Investigator and Compliance Officer with the Department of Criminal Justice Services (DCJS) of Virginia. My teams have investigated multiple cases, dozens of which led to arrests or convictions. After many years of experience, I am providing a summary of my experiences and knowledge of this critical field to better serve clients and their many needs.
