Owner/Founder

Founded in 2023, Intrepid Consulting was established to bring expert digital forensics and investigative consulting services to a broader audience. Our foundation is built upon years of experience as digital forensics and cyber crime investigators with leading law enforcement agencies, including the FBI, Air Force Office of Special Investigations, Defense Criminal Investigative Service, and United States Postal Service Office of Inspector General.

With over a decade of federal law enforcement experience, I specialize in unraveling complex cybercrimes and conducting high-stakes digital forensics investigations. I have led investigations that have shaped cases in federal, military, and state courts.

In addition to my fieldwork, I've spent 8 years instructing United States and global law enforcement, government, and private sector professionals in mobile and computer forensics through esteemed organizations such as Cellebrite, US Department of State, and the National Computer Forensics Institute.

My credentials include Certified Fraud Examiner, GCFE, and GASF, ensuring top-tier expertise for your legal needs.
