Kevin Ripa

I have worked with Tim on a large number of very diverse projects over the span of almost 20 years. Whether he is issuing the work, or doing the work, Tim has proven to be incredibly focused and can always be relied upon to keep the most complex of projects on track and in focus. Tim's deep experience throughout many facets of investigation and security serve to position him as a thought leader and guiding principal within the industry. His depth of experience in some investigative areas that are understood by very few people make him uniquely qualified to head projects that most managers could not adequately tackle. I would highly recommend Tim, and do so on a regular basis to clients whose needs I am unable to fill.

Tim recently was promoted to Senior Vice President and well deserved. I have had the pleasure of working for Tim and have seen first hand how he is dedicated, professional and extremely hard working. Tim’s experiences have developed his skills to far exceed most, He is extremely fair with staff and excels in making himself and staff fully aware of client requirements. Tim is a tremendous mentor to those working for him and and is always reachable and more than willing to assist on any project.
