01 — OVERVIEW
California Private Detective
I understand—when something feels wrong, it consumes everything.
In the Bay Area, uncertainty hits harder. A suspicious partner, a breach of privacy, a potential internal threat, a stranger who knows too much, or information that simply doesn’t add up—you feel it in your gut long before you have proof. That unease can disrupt your focus, bleed into your work, and shake your sense of control.
I work with clients who can’t afford assumptions. High-net-worth individuals, executives, founders, and families across San Francisco turn to me because they need clarity fast—and they need it handled discreetly.
Decades of investigative expertise—trusted by clients who demand discretion.
With more than 30 years in advanced investigations, privacy work, and high-risk client protection, I serve individuals, professionals, and families across San Francisco, Silicon Valley, Marin, and the entire Bay Area.
I’m brought in when others can’t deliver answers—or when someone needs the truth handled quietly and expertly.

03 — I FIX PROBLEMS
Private. Focused. Uncompromising.
San Francisco’s unique blend of wealth, technology, and public visibility creates an environment where threats don’t announce themselves—they infiltrate silently. Private investigations become essential when something feels off: a breach of privacy, a suspicious person, an internal threat, a betrayal, or a pattern that doesn’t make sense. In a city where reputations are currency and information moves at light speed, Bay Area clients turn to a seasoned investigator to uncover the truth before the problem escalates.
As a California licensed private investigator Bureau of Security and Investigative Services approved detective, I become the fixer that supports my clients through thick and thin.
