People are Asking Me What I Actually Do For A Living. Here are Some Answers!

From an Undisclosed Location—Ok, that’s a fair question. The answer is complicated. I’ll do my best to answer that.

Yes, I’m a licensed private detective but I avoid work that’s meaningless, illegal, or immoral. My primary specialty is criminal defense and I’m considered an expert in self-defense cases involving deadly force.

I accept other cases including personal injury cases where liability must be established and fixed.

In 1989 I was recruited to work as a TV investigative news producer. I did not shut down my agency but agreed simply do the work for TV news like all my other clients.

On news cases I spend my time finding out what the cops and other authorities do NOT want the media to know about the most high profile murders and such. I’ve actually reported stories but generally never have the time to do anything but locate and hand over the material and important witnesses for interviews to those familiar TV faces.

I have been sent to all over the USA, India and Europe on cases. I speak fluent German thanks to that draft/conscript invitation from President Lyndon B. Johnson. Germany was a much better assignment than Viet Nam! I served as a medical corpsman which in addition to personally observing nearly 800 autopsies at Chicago’s Cook County Morgue helps me in homicide cases.

I write this blog for fun. However, I wish I were sponsored more to travel and report on more of the crime stories around the world. I do manage to cover a high profile story from time to time.

I love to report on filmmakers and review art, music and of course films. I’m naturally attracted to crime films and documentaries.

As my blog visitors know I’m a serious gun Rights advocate. I’m often called to speak about gun rights on radio, TV or live events.

My latest endeavor is the camera/drone technology. I value drones for video journalism in a big way. Unfortunately as much as I’d like to be a somewhat less creepy, Droneie version of that film character in Jake Gyllenhaal's latest movie "Nightcrawler", so far the FAA, so far has obstructed that new passion.

My news experience has also given me a specialty in Media Crisis Management. That’s helping high profile people and businesses deal with a sudden onset of bad publicity connected to serious allegations.

For more fun I like writing, acting (I’m a member of SAG-AFTRA) and making short and documentary films.

This blog has brought me some very exciting cases when my visitors have reached out to me for help. As you can expect I can’t nor won’t talk about most of my cases due to necessary client confidentiality.

I seem to wear at lot of hats but for me they’re all interesting and fun. I hope this answers a lot of questions.

A 40 Caliber Nightmare Is Caught On Tape.

So you’re confident that that .40 caliber S&W service round will keep you safe. Maybe you’ll have second thoughts after you see this video. One hot summer night in 1994 Tempe and Mesa Arizona police were involved in a pursuit with this suspect who ran into a stranger’s apartment to hide after being shot TWICE in the chest. He was shirtless and you can see the blood pumping out of those two wounds. What’s really frightening is just how agile this fellow is as he struts to the ambulance. If he was not handcuffed and had a knife or a gun, ask yourself if he could still hurt you, your partner or a hostage? If your jurisdiction demands that officers carry either the 9MM or the .40 Caliber S&W it’s time to show this video to your bosses and lobby to have the .45 ACP round authorized. The switch may well reduce the screaming by self-appointed community activists about how many rounds police had to use on a suspect. The really talented and courageous video journalist, Karen Ke...

The origin of the feature film, COME FRIDAY…

CLick On the pictures to see full size versions. Long ago there was a young lady I had the hots for in a big way (Yes, I know that hots is not a word). She was pretty, incredibly bright, and had some real elegance about her. She had a love for children and basic kindness that you don’t often see in someone her age. I met her parents and could understand she came from a much more stable home than mine. I was raised by a single, welfare mom and suddenly found myself way out-classed. For whatever reasons things did not workout they way I had hoped. Sadly for me, we went on our separate ways. From time to time I’d run into this lady in various places where our job had taken us. Whenever this happened my heart would skip a beat or two. I left my hometown Chicago, and moved to Arizona where I founded my detective agency. As a private eye and soon a TV news producer too, my career took me to the highest profile criminal events in Arizona and throughout the country. There’s no question that ...

America Will See Its Worst Race Riot Yet This Summer

Star Prosecution Witness, Rachel Jeantel Sanford, FL —Yes, the George Zimmerman trial here has thousands of African-Americans getting ready for some serious bloodletting. I don’t want to make idle and dire predictions but this nation has never been so divided and racially sensitive. Our African-American President took sides on this case at the very beginning. That ratified a George Zimmerman guilty verdict in the minds of millions. There’s just one little problem, and that is the murder case should have never been filed. It was filed purely for political reasons despite the fact that it was a simple justifiable homicide. Zimmerman was on the block watch lookout program and followed a suspicious Trayvon Martin after he used an improper entrance to a gated community. Zimmerman was acting as the eyes and ears of the Sanford Police Department. Martin did not like being followed and knew that he could easily beat up the out-of-shape...
