From an early age, I developed a deep curiosity for research, exploration, and intelligence gathering. As a child, I had a fascination with uncovering hidden pathways, analyzing structures, and learning how things interconnected—whether through urban exploration or advanced research techniques. This natural investigative mindset led me to master traditional research methods long before the internet, gaining access to special collections at major libraries like the Boston Public Library and various college archives.
When the digital age emerged, I quickly adapted, learning how to access early online databases using a 1200 baud modem in the late 1980s. My passion for systems, research, and information networking led to a Novell LAN certification from Greenfield Community College in 1995, positioning me at the intersection of technology, intelligence gathering, and open-source research.
Today, I apply these decades of investigative experience to OSINT, competitive intelligence, and digital research, helping businesses and professionals uncover insights, verify information, and navigate complex data landscapes.
