He began his law-enforcement career on patrol and later transitioned to detective, working in various bureaus, including property crimes, white-collar crimes, narcotics, and vice. As a SWAT team member, some of his experiences included high-hazard search and arrest warrants, barricaded suspect situations, maritime interdiction, and close-in protection of a national public figure targeted by terrorists for assignation post Desert Storm. He attended SWAT schools conducted by the
FBI and DoD.
As a telecommunications fraud investigator, he worked with local, State, and Federal law enforcement agencies to investigate crimes and fraud committed against his employer. He was his company’s representative working with Federal law enforcement in the immediate post-9/11 investigation of the terrorists.
Now retired, Kris has taken his love of reading to the next level: writing. His transition from investigations to the world of novels has been a fascinating journey. His goal is to blend his knowledge, experiences, real-world events, and imagination into the Chase Thompson novels that readers will enjoy.
He went the self-published route via Kindle Direct Publishing and submitted his book, Random (sometimes it isn't), in late November 2024. He is in the process of preparing to release his second Chase Thompson novel.
Kris and his wife have chosen to make their home in the heart of the Midwest, a place that holds a special significance in their lives.
