About Us
Working investigators do not need more content marketing. They need the reference their case demands, in the format a professional expects, delivered when they need it.
That is what this platform provides. Fifty operational playbooks across common case types. Twenty-eight-hundred-plus industry-specific playbooks across twenty-nine sector volumes covering everything from maritime and oil and gas to healthcare, sports, and technology. The accompanying reverse engineered proprietary TALON Playbooks. Seven doctrinal reference documents that underpin every case type. Monthly threat intelligence and AI Case laws impacting investigators. On-demand intelligence products. Custom intelligence support for active cases through the Consulting Desk.
Every playbook is a working document. Every reference is designed to be pulled up mid-case and used.
About the Author
Former Federal Bureau of Investigation Special Agent and SWAT Operator across three field divisions. Extensive undercover experience. Current Crisis Management Specialist/Hostage Negotiator and Global Security Consultant. Licensed Private Investigator, currently renewing in Texas.
Former Global Security Director inside a cyber threat intelligence firm and, separately, inside a large international ministry. Also, co-lead a corporate espionage and counterintelligence group inside a top-5 global bank.
Sixteen years of global counter-trafficking work and Kidnap and Ransom response experience. The teams I have led accounted for well over 3,000 documented recoveries across roughly 40 countries.
My experience is not different from many of yours reading this. That is the point. The platform is not built on personality or brand. It is built on the work on every page of every playbook and TALON brief. If it earns your subscription, it will earn it that way, through the material. If it does not, it does not deserve it. What I am looking to build here is a domestic force for good of investigators, one state at a time, positioned to counter human trafficking in support of one another, and the other exploitation typologies our profession is uniquely equipped to address. If that mission fits yours, then the platform will have a double meaning to you.
Honest work. Strong operational security. Honest feedback. That is the standard. Thank you for joining.
OUR MISSION
The Investigator’s Desk started out as a challenge to myself, and in the building of it, it has been exactly that. I hope it will challenge you. Whether you are advancing your career, moving into cases you have not worked before, or sharpening the work you already do well, the mission of this platform is to help raise the standard as professional investigators.
What We Stand For
EXPERIENCE
Every playbook, brief, and reference on this platform is drawn from operational case work across investigations, intelligence, protective operations, and crisis response spanning federal service and forty countries of field practice. Nothing here is theoretical. I’m still learning to work some of these cases as they come.
DISCIPLINE
Investigations succeed or fail on process. Every product on this platform enforces the discipline that separates a defensible case from a compromised one, from intake through documentation, evidence handling, interview strategy, report writing, and legal exposure management.
CONFIDENTIALITY
Sensitive information is handled the way a working case requires. Client data, subscriber requests, custom intelligence products, and case-specific submissions are treated under professional standards of discretion, security, and controlled access at every stage.
PRACTICAL INTELLIGENCE
Intelligence on this platform is built for the working case, not the analyst’s shelf. Monthly threat briefs, industry-vertical intelligence, and on-demand reports are structured so an investigator can pull the product open, extract what the case needs, and move.
