M.A. Forensic Linguistics (Hofstra, 2026). U.S. Army veteran, six years as a Cryptologic Linguist with prior TS/SCI clearance. I help journalists, attorneys, documentarians, and academic researchers obtain and analyze government records that other people can't reach. What I do: • Federal and state FOIA / public records request strategy, drafting, and filing • Administrative appeals on denied or improperly redacted requests • Mandatory Declassification Review (MDR) submissions for classified materials • Document authentication, authorship analysis, and questioned-document review (forensic linguistics methodology) • Archival research and primary-source recovery (NARA, presidential libraries, state archives, agency reading rooms) • Investigative research support for long-form journalism, litigation discovery, and documentary production Recent independent work: Maintaining an active FOIA pipeline across CIA, FBI, FAA, NARA, VA, and multiple state archives in support of a long-form investigative project on Cold War aviation safety and federal records.

If a request is going to take 18 months and produce nothing, I'll tell you that before you spend the records fee. Available 30+ hrs/week. Based in Alaska (AKDT/AKST), responsive across U.S. time zones.

In juni heb ik mijn eigen bedrijf verkocht en de beslissing genomen om een aantal maanden met 'verkort pensioen' te gaan. Deze kans grijp ik aan om opnieuw te kijken welke richting ik zakelijk gezien op wil gaan. Inmiddels ben ik een paar maanden met 'pensioen' en druk bezig een nieuw business idee uit te werken. Om mezelf nog wat meer tijd te geven zal ik het komende halfjaar een aantal freelance klussen aannemen. Heb je een Wordpress website die onderhoud nodig heeft? SEO klussen? Wil je meer uit e-mail marketing halen? Of wil je dat ik met je meedenk over de branding/strategie. Ik zie je berichtje graag tegemoet! Dan kijken we of we elkaar kunnen helpen.
