I am a retired intelligence analyst with 35 years of experience in the Intelligence Community (IC). During my career, I supported investigations involving bank and mortgage fraud, major drug trafficking organizations, international terrorism, and other complex criminal activity.
On these pages, I focus on the foundational skills of the intelligence professional: critical thinking, structured analytical techniques, and clear, effective writing. More recently, I have expanded that focus to include crime analysis, with particular emphasis on applying structured methodologies to case support.
My goal is simple: to explore practical ways analysts can make their work more rigorous, transparent, and useful to the people who rely on it.
