He has served as a member of the FBI’s SWAT team, as a supervisory agent in two field offices and FBI Headquarters, and as a unit chief in the FBI’s Criminal Investigative Division. He is the recipient of the Hispanic American Police Command Officer’s Association’s (HAPCOA) Medal of Meritorious Service, the Special Act Award from the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) Commissioner’s Criminal Investigator’s Award, and he was recognized by FBI Director Louis J.

In his new book, “Outsider Agent” he tells the story of how he moved to the United States from the dangerous streets of Caracas, Venezuela as a teenager in the mid-seventies, with the dream of becoming a US citizen and an FBI agent—adapting his survival skills to a new culture, one harrowing day at a time, overcoming homelessness, prejudice, and poverty to achieve the impossible.
