Bio

I am is a puppeteer and content creator. I was born and raised in Springfield, MA.

​I have a history of public service and experience that enabled me to use puppetry for public health benefit. In Massachusetts I served a contractual security officer for Medicaid and as a Reserve Police Officer. In Georgia I worked as a correctional officer and a courthouse security officer. 

Now residing back in MA s a contributing writer for the Point of View Community Newspaper  and a member of Puppeteers of America, I am blending my  creative passion with his life experience to help everyday consumers against the fight against fraud.

​ I am a graduate of Springfield Technical Community College. He is a volunteer AARP Digital Fraud Fighter.

My experienced as a theatre actor who started off with his high school drama club and intermediate training from Springfield's Drama Studio. I performed in dozens of productions for Northampton Team Players, Jalupa Productions, and the Henry County Players, GA Theatre. 

​Now I am happy to share what he knows or learns on a regular basis with respect to scam prevention and public safety.

I am striving to scatter the seeds of knowledge for health living among seniors and consumers. By learning  of common scams by demonstrations, one can utilize steps to offset tactics engineered by scammers.

​Also, l am using Youtube videos to educate viewers about scams and tips on how to avoid entrapment by con artists. 

Learn of the various terminology and existing schemes from the puppets to keep you and your family safe from financial exploitation. Spoofing, phishing, malware, iCloud, and many other topics serves as sources in the neverending effort to thwart attempts by con artists.

​My virtual shows and Youtube videos depict situations involving grandparent scams, fraudulent sweepstakes, bereavement fraud, fake telemarketing, questionable charities, and many other common forms of financial abuse. 

My digital web series, "Cyber Brats" is a fictional radio station show that highlights scam prevention and cyber security awareness. 

​This program is hosted by Cyber Sly, a former con artist, and cohost Alex Midas, a grumpy former business man who lost everything to a cyber attacker.During their broadcast, they are sometimes taunted on the air by fraudster Jester Jensen, a fugitive  wanted by the FBI. 

​The goal of these accessible videos is to depict scam methods to alleviate scenarios where a merchant or consumer might be victimized. Check out my Youtube channel at https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCZ5JPhBrP4OpCKeY4hbm5Dg

In additon to Youtube, 22 minutes weekly episodes of "Cyber Brats" can be accessible for free on Spondulics TV at https://spondulics.org/?fbclid=IwAR0IFP1sA2JzZMcSs2tq-sHN5SH_qfHG1f3oBPAx-PTlCoRSZrsv4gclzqY
