Uncovering the Digital Truth. Actionable Data from Open Sources.

Providing discreet, ethical, and thorough open-source intelligence for corporations, non-profits, public services, and individuals

Open Source Intelligence (OSINT) refers to the process of collecting and analyzing information from publicly available sources to support decision-making, investigations, and security operations. This intelligence is gathered from a wide range of platforms, including social media, websites, news reports, government publications, and online databases. Organizations and government agencies utilize OSINT to identify potential threats, track criminal activities, conduct competitive analysis, and enhance cybersecurity measures. By leveraging openly accessible data, OSINT enables professionals to gain valuable insights without the need for covert methods, making it a critical component in modern intelligence and risk management strategies.

The answers to our most important questions are often out there, scattered across the vast digital landscape. Open-Source Intelligence (OSINT) is the professional discipline of finding and putting together scattered data to reveal a clear picture. By ethically analyzing information from many public sources, I transform raw data into verified, actionable intelligence. For organizations and individuals alike, I provide confidential research services designed to bring clarity to complex situations. Whether you need to conduct due diligence to verify critical facts, locate a hard-to-find person, manage a personal or brand reputation online, or gather information to support a professional or personal decision, I deliver the data you need to move forward with confidence.

My Open-Source Intelligence (OSINT) services are built on a set of core abilities that can be applied to a wide range of challenges for both individuals and organizations. These key capabilities include: 1) People Locating, which uses deep web searches and public records to find a hard-to-find individual, whether it's a key witness for a legal case or a long-lost family member.

2) Fact Verification and Due Diligence, to confirm the background and claims of a potential business partner or online acquaintance, ensuring you can trust who you are dealing with.

3) Digital Footprint Analysis, to create a comprehensive picture of an individual's or company's online presence for reputation management or to understand their public history.

4) Event and Topic Monitoring, to track a situation in real-time or gauge public sentiment about a brand or issue by analyzing news and social media.

5) Archival Research, to uncover historical information by digging into digitized records to solve a family mystery or support a legal claim.

While this list covers just some of my primary services, my full range of OSINT abilities can be adapted to fit your unique situation. I encourage you to contact me to discuss your specific challenge in a confidential consultation.

A Mission to Help and Protect Through Intelligence

For more than two decades, my career has been driven by a single principle: using technology to help and protect others. From securing critical IT infrastructure to uncovering hidden information, my goal has always been to provide clarity and safety in an increasingly complex world. As the founder and Head Researcher of CybernetSentinel, I now channel that mission into providing expert Open-Source Intelligence (OSINT) services.

From IT Expert to Intelligence Analyst

My journey began in Information Technology, where I spent 25 years on the front lines of network security and data management. My career was founded on distinguished service in the U.S. Navy. After my discharge, I became a contractor on military bases across North Carolina where I held a Top Secret security clearance. This deep, hands-on experience gave me a unique understanding of the digital breadcrumbs we all leave behind and the vulnerabilities that need protection. It was a natural evolution to apply these technical skills to the discipline of OSINT, where I can proactively identify risks and find critical facts for my clients.
