//The short version
From the field to the build.
I have been investigating since 2009. I founded my first firm in 2010 and built it into Southern Recon Agency in 2014. Then I founded E3 Legacy Intel, its cyber division, to take the cases most firms will not touch: wire fraud, cryptocurrency tracing, dark web work, unmasking the people behind online crime. The deeper I went, the clearer it got. The work was outgrowing anything a human analyst could do by hand.
So I built the tools: a proprietary AI investigation platform, the forensic instruments around it for tracing, device and network triage and evidence capture, and the investigation agents that run inside them, all working real casework right now. I developed them. E3 Legacy Intel owns and operates them. None of it is sold or licensed. That is the AI my own investigation firms run on.
Now I advise, build, and teach for the firms that run investigations and security operations, and for the lawyers whose evidence AI has touched. Four things: monthly advisory seats, custom private builds, signed AI evidence audits, and training and keynotes. They are laid out on the consulting hub.
//Credentials
Licensed, certified, and genuinely rare.
The FBCI is rare on purpose. Fewer than fifty Florida Board Certified Investigators exist, and I am one of them. Alongside it: the Certified Digital Forensics Examiner credential, formal TSCM (technical surveillance countermeasures) training, and the agency license, Southern Recon Agency, LLC, Florida private investigative agency license A-1400197.
//Teaching
World Orlando, Intellenet, and the rooms in between.
I trained a delegation of Brazilian prosecutors at World Orlando, the State Department sponsored conference in Orlando. Intellenet's 2026 conference agenda lists me for “A-I for the Modern Private Investigator” on April 15, 2026. In 2019 he keynoted the feature stage at The Prism Group’s White Label World Expo in Las Vegas, an event with more than 7,500 in attendance, and he has delivered sessions for investigative, insurance, security and university audiences across the country. How to bring me in is on the teaching and speaking page.
//Boards & leadership
Trusted by the people who run the profession.
Board Member
Florida Association of Licensed Investigators (FALI)
Invited Member
Council of Association Leaders
An invitation-only body of the leaders of investigative associations worldwide.
//Federal work
The cases the agencies care about.
Seventeen years of casework alongside federal, state, and local agencies, including the FBI, the SEC, U.S. Secret Service, and U.S. Marshals Service, among others. The kind of work that does not make it into a brochure, on the kind of cases that do not leave room for error.
//One note on names
You may find my earlier AI work referenced as Agenticam. That research line grew into the proprietary AI investigation platform I run today.
//In the press
On the record as a cybercrime expert.
National and regional outlets call when they need someone who can explain cybercrime and digital investigations in plain language, on camera, on deadline.
Featured · Trollhunters (MAC Pictures / Netflix)
A series about unmasking anonymous internet trolls. In the pilot, I track down an attacker who resurfaced a revenge-porn victim's images years after the fact, and bring him to justice. The pilot was produced and never aired.
The outlets that have quoted him are listed on the press page, and the system he built is described on the platform page.
Let's talk.
The headshot, the three bios and the fact line are ready to copy in the press kit.
