False Allegations and Defamatory Attacks

Certain individuals, operating under aliases and through intermediaries, have deliberately disseminated false and defamatory statements about me to various instructors, organizations, and other parties. Among the fabrications being circulated is the claim that I have a criminal history involving violence.  This allegation is entirely false.

I have consistently passed all criminal background checks for the past forty years, most recently in October 2025, confirming a completely clean and verified record. Despite these facts, the spread of misinformation continues—fueled by individuals using false identities and fabricated credentials, including one claiming to be a licensed private investigator and investigative journalist with a Ph.D.

Let me make this absolutely clear: any person or group responsible for publishing, distributing, or endorsing false or defamatory statements about me will be pursued through appropriate legal channels for libel, slander, and defamation. In short, those involved are going to face legal action. Those involved with this know who they are.

Moreover, some of the same individuals have been linked to serious threats made against a former student of mine and his family. Bounties were allegedly placed on both my head and those of my student. These actions constitute criminal behavior, and the involved parties are going to be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.

I have formally contacted all instructors and organizations with whom I am affiliated—and several with whom I am not—requesting written confirmation from anyone approached or provided with false information about my background.

All individuals responsible for this campaign of defamation, harassment, or intimidation will be held fully accountable through every legal and professional avenue available to me.
