About Brett

As a former Marine who served in Desert Storm, I want to help vets interested in law enforcement.

After getting my B.A. from University of Florida and a stint overseas in Japan, I returned to Florida in 1994. I began my endeavor to become a federal law enforcement officer. Specifically, a criminal investigator (1811-Special Agent). I started out as a Florida State Probation Officer (1 year), Orlando Police Officer (2 years), USDOS Diplomatic Security Special Agent (3 years), and in 2001, I began my career with ATF. I love my job!

I benefited greatly from advice given to me by people in law enforcement. I hope to return the favor.
