His collaboration with federal agencies like the FBI, ATF, and DEA on complex, multi-jurisdictional investigations, as well as his constant collaboration with DPS CID and the Texas Rangers, speaks to the trust and respect he has earned across agencies, both state and federal. He is known for providing accurate, reliable information and putting in the hard work required to achieve results.”
