He personally infiltrated three outlaw motorcycle gangs and supported undercover operations targeting the Outlaws MC, Hells Angels MC, Pagans MC, Warlocks MC, and others while also serving in leadership roles across ATF, OCDETF, HIDTA, and the Undercover Branch in Washington, D.C. He later advised USSOCOM, DoD, DIA, and Special Operations Forces on signature reduction, cover, and law enforcement support for domestic training operations.
