EXPERIENCE

May 2002 to February 2023 Department of Homeland Security

Federal Air Marshal Service (Boston)

Federal Air Marshal

As a Federal Air Marshal I work undercover and I am authorized to conduct investigations; request and receive information to offenses; seek and execute search and arrest warrants; serve subpoenas and summonses; administer oaths; make arrests without warrant; carry firearms; inspect and copy records and papers of carriers and persons; and to have unimpeded access to transportation facilities; buildings; lands; areas; sites; aircraft; vessels; and vehicles in the performance of my official duties in accordance with applicable laws and regulations. Subsequent to the Terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001 my duties as a Federal Air Marshal are to be responsible for and protect air security and promote public confidence in our nation's civil aviation system through effective deployment, in order to detect, deter and defeat hostile acts targeting U.S. air carriers, airports, passengers and crews. I am required and trained to make split-second, life-and-death decisions at 30,000 feet without backup. I rely on my instincts and stringent training to protect hundreds of lives. I graduated the Federal Air Marshal academy, which is a stringent program that includes behavioral observation, intimidation tactics and close quarters self-defense. In addition I am held to the highest standard for handgun qualification of all federal law enforcement agencies. As a FAM international team leader I supervised over 300 international missions where I was required to understand the FAM mission, operation and law enforcement functions to ensure the successful completion of assigned international missions. I also ensure that all members of my team understand all policies and procedures of traveling oversea as a representative of the United States government. I was selected to this position because of my abilities to interpret appropriate statues, ability to handle complex and stressful situations, knowledge of FAM policies and procedures, and my ability to represent the United States while working with foreign officials.

May 99 to May 2002 Department Of Justice

Federal Bureau of Prisons, FMC Devens

Senior Correctional Officer

As a Senior Officer I enforced the rules and regulations governing the operation of a correctional institution and the confinement, safety, health, and protection of inmates. At times, this requires physical exertion to subdue and control unruly inmates who may be armed and assaultive; supervising the various work assignments of inmates; and on occasion, carrying firearms, participating in inmate escorts, and participating as advisory members of the Unit Team that consists of Case Managers, Psychologists, Teachers, Unit Managers, Correctional Counselors, and other advisory personnel working to help in the development and growth of inmates to become law-abiding citizens. This also includes conducting pat and visual searches regularly. As a correctional officer here I supervise inmates in groups up to 150. As a Senior Officer at F.M.C. Devens I have been trained in Basic Prisoner Transportation and I conduct numerous armed escorts to various local hospitals. Accomplishments that I have achieved are using my IPC skills in Spanish with inmates in the mental health unit to stop potential volatile situations. I used my Spanish on a daily basis, due to a large population of Hispanic inmates. I have translated often while conducting investigations with inmates. I have received laudatory comments for superiors on my duties and professionalism as a correctional officer. My last rating period I had and Outstanding for my yearly evaluation. I also had a collateral duty as a member of the Special Operations Response Team. I trained approximately 8-12 hours per month in areas such as Hostage rescues, Advance firearms’ techniques, and all other aspects of a special operations team in a correctional environment.

Training Sergeant/Special Reaction Team Leader

My duties as a training sergeant included planning and coordinating Law Enforcement and Military training to a Detachment of ninety-four soldiers. Keeping accurate statistics on all soldiers, which included physical fitness, weapon’s qualifications, Law Enforcement seminars (LETS) and mandatory Army training. Planning, preparing and conducting live fire qualification ranges. I conducted weekly briefings with senior leadership to delegate training guidance and resolve any training issues that might arise. Scheduling soldiers for temporary duty to attend training at various locations. Accomplishments that I have achieved are completing three Command inspections on all of my duties and receiving laudatory comments, which included being the best in the Battalion of Military Police. Other accomplishments would be being asked for information from senior leadership on training issues because of the knowledge that I possessed, which was achieved by striving to be proficient at my duties. Comments from senior leadership as to how I perform duties that someone at a higher rank would normally perform.

Special Reaction Team Leader:

Duties and accomplishments: My duties included training my seven man team on all aspects of special operations to successfully complete our mission whatever it may be from Counter Terrorist training to live fire Close Quarter Battle shooting (Terrorist Threats/Hostage situation/Barricaded subject, Serving Warrants, etc.) Other responsibilities included keeping accurate records of training and weapons’ qualifications. I was also responsible for instructing SWAT firearms’ techniques to my team. Leadership, delegation of authority and working as a team are some important aspects why I was selected as a team leader, which helped me successfully train and keep my team at a high level of proficiency. I have successfully conducted over 300 hours of live fire shoot house training with no injuries. Accomplishments that I have made as a team leader were competing in two SWAT competitions and finishing first among other military teams and 4th overall. Being selected as a team leader though members of the team held a higher rank than I did. Being constantly selected to schedule, plan and execute training for all fifteen members of the team because of the knowledge and training that I have in special operations and my abilities to pass this on by instructing new team members. I have attended numerous civilian special operations/counter terrorist schools on all aspects of special operations. I have been asked to instruct various courses from other organizations at Ft Campbell, such as 5th Special Forces Group, and senior leadership from a company of Infantry soldiers, and civilian S.W.A.T. teams in the local area. A review of my training will show that I was fortunate to attend some of the best civilian counter terrorist courses in the country.
