Rafael’s career is a remarkable journey through high-stakes roles in military, federal law enforcement, and private security, showcasing a deep commitment to public safety and national security. Starting with the U.S. Marine Corps, he built a foundation of discipline and service, which carried into his extensive federal law enforcement career. His roles as a Border Patrol Agent, member of the INS Quick Response Team/Fugitive Operations, Federal Air Marshal post-9/11, and Special Agent for U.S. Customs Service and ICE highlight a progressive climb through demanding positions. His focus on narcotics smuggling investigations, along with assignments to the DEA Task Force, DEA Airport Interdiction Task Force, Federal Financial Crimes Task Force, and temporary duty at ICE Headquarters (now NTCI), demonstrates his versatility and expertise in tackling complex criminal networks. Notably, his record-breaking bulk currency interdiction seizures significantly disrupted local trafficking organizations, underscoring his impact.
Transitioning to the private sector, Rafael applied his expertise to supply chain security, consulting along Mexican and maritime corridors to ensure compliance with the Customs Trade Partnership Against Terrorism (C-TPAT) and Maritime Transportation Security Act. His work training Anti-Smuggling and Anti-Terrorism Officers for global maritime operations further highlights his global influence. Beyond this, his involvement in executive protection, workplace violence prevention, and undercover operations to dismantle corporate drug trafficking and theft rings shows a seamless blend of investigative prowess and strategic security management. Managing security for cruise lines, a corporate building, and large-scale events with thousands of attendees further cements his ability to handle diverse, high-pressure environments.
As a Department of Homeland Security “Plank Owner,” Rafael’s unique perspective on the evolution of federal law enforcement adds depth to his profile. His pivot to media in 2017, joining Nancy Planeta to discuss conspiracies from an investigator’s lens, reflects his ability to translate decades of experience into public discourse. His aim to strip the “theory” from “conspiracy theory” by grounding discussions in evidence and insight is a natural extension of his analytical mindset.
