I've provided training/lectures in counterterrorism and CBRNe defense on a global level.

Biography

I spent over 20 years in specialized law enforcement, including the NYPD's Counterterrorism CBRNe Unit, training 6,000+ personnel annually and building curriculum adopted by FEMA. Today I'm a DHS contractor and Lead WMD/hazmat training instructor nationwide. This book started in a hospital room. In 2023 I was diagnosed with a rare genetic condition requiring several surgeries. Facing long recoveries, I turned to writing—something I'd always carried but never made time for. What began as an outlet became The Protectorate. Drawing on two decades in the field, The Protectorate came to be. I'm a Master's candidate in International Criminal Justice at John Jay College, a peer-reviewed author, and founder of Sonnett House Publishing. The Protectorate: A Phoenix Rises is my debut, first in a planned trilogy. I live in NJ with my wife, dogs, and an ornery cat.
