Police Career
"My journey to building a diverse portfolio of trusted businesses in the United States began on the demanding streets of London, serving 16 years as a police officer with the Metropolitan Police. This wasn't just a job; it was a profound education in human nature, crisis management, and the absolute necessity of unwavering integrity.
My roles were varied and intense: from responding to critical incidents on the front lines, where every decision mattered, to coordinating vital actions in the high-pressure Major Incident Control Room for major events like riots, the 2012 London Olympics and multiple protests and demonstrations. Working with young people in London's schools and navigating the complexities of gang units taught me invaluable lessons in communication, empathy, and strategic intervention. My unique experience with the Dog Unit further deepened my understanding of trust, loyalty, and meticulous training – principles I now apply to every professional I vet.
These experiences instilled in me a profound commitment to trust, discipline, and strategic problem-solving. These aren't just buzzwords; they are the bedrock principles upon which I've built every venture since moving to the U.S.
My mission here is clear: to leverage that foundation of trust and meticulous vetting to create unparalleled reliability across essential services. Whether it's ensuring the safety of your pets, maintaining your home, supporting your loved ones, or guiding you through the complexities of digital wealth, every business in my ecosystem is designed to deliver peace of mind and empower your success.
Entrepreneurial Journey
My transition from law enforcement wasn't a departure from these core values, but an evolution. Driven by a lifelong passion for animals (having shared my life with dogs and other pets since childhood, and countless hours volunteering), and a desire to build something rooted in integrity, my wife Liza (also a former London Met officer of 28 years) and I immigrated to Arizona with a clear vision. Critter Caretakers. Aiming to transform the pet care industry. Today, Critter Caretakers stands as Arizona's premier pet sitting and dog walking service marketplace, delivering trusted, expert care right to your door. Our rigorous vetting process for providers, directly informed by our police backgrounds, is our promise of unparalleled peace of mind.
I am taking the principles and lessons learned from Critter Caretakers and creating multiple businesses with the same philosophy of integrity, trust and unwavering commitment to being the most trusted provider of services across Arizona
