Why did you write your autobiography ATF Undercover?
- I wanted to share with readers my first hand account of working dangerous undercover cases and at the same time living my life as a husband, father, son and brother extremely challenging with very long hours and difficult supervisors to work with.
What was the hardest part of working undercover cases?
- The bad guys were the easy part sometimes the hardest part was dealing with bad supervisors and poor prosecutors that made the job that more challenging.
Would you recommend someone entering a career in law enforcement?
- Yes, but one has to understand the sacrifices that are required in becoming a successful special agent if not you would be wasting your time. Large cases are not easy and takes a lot of hard work and long hours.
Does your book offer solutions to the current problems with firearms trafficking?
- Yes it does and I discuss it in detail how to combat international and domestic firearms trafficking.
Why did you start writing?
- I always had a passion for writing and wrote thousand of reports and affidavits in my 26 year career in law enforcement. I became very detail oriented and wanted to continue writing so people could read my books about organized crime, politics, corrupt tyrannies, travel and other topics.
How many books have your written?
- I have written 40 books and counting on various topics from organized crime, politics, corrupt tyrannies around the world, my autobiography, travel, fiction and even children's books.
