PERSPECTIVE ON RECOGNITION FROM PROFESSIONAL PEERS

My many achievements and accomplishments have resulted in substantial professional recognition - in many forms - from my industry secter and peers, from my past employers and from others I have served. These are sincerely appreciated and I am truly honored however, they are much more than that. The true significance is as  credible, unbiased, 3rd party VALIDATION of EXCEPTIONAL PERFORMANCE.

SME: EXPERT WITNESS & CIVIL LITIGATION SUPPORT EXPERIENCE

Court recognized Subject Matter Expert (SME) in both Physical Security and Fire/Life Safety. Served in more then ten (10) cases for Defendants, Plaintiffs, Amicus Curiae and Pre-Filing  with excellent results. Notable clients include Lloyds of London Insurance, and notable cases include the One Meridian Plaza litigation ($4 Billion in Claims) in Philadelphia. This knowledge and experience benefits my employer through my awareness and understanding of potential LIABILITY, potential NEGLIGENCE and how these can be avoided and mitigated.

INTEGRITY: SECURITY CLEARANCES & BACKGROUND INVESTIGATIONS :

In the event that a position requires  a U.S. Government Security Clearance (S/TS/SCI, etc), I have an up-to-present EPSQ data file on hand to accelerate the processing.

I have obtained a significant number of security clearances of various types from numerous individual federal and state government agencies. These include (but are not limited to)

* U.S. Dept. of Justice / ATF (Metal Detector Exempt access)
* U.S. Dept. of Treasury / IRS
* U.S. Dept of Energy / NRC
* U.S. Dept. of Homeland Security / USCG / TWIC
* FL.  Dept. of Law Enforcement (FDLE) / CWP
* CO. Bureau of Investigations (CBI) / to become commissioned police officer

I have undergone more than a dozen polygraph exams, a handful of voice stress analysis, several psychological suitability examinations, numerous substance screenings, a few written integrity tests (i.e. MMPI, etc,) and been fingerprinted an estimated 20+ times passing all with flying colors. Never arrested / convicted. Personal INTEGRITY is an inherent part of my individual character - professional INTEGRITY is an inherent requirement for success in my chosen career field! .
