Joe and Walter attended the FBI Academy at the same time over 25 years ago. They were both then assigned to a violent crimes squad in the San Diego Division of the FBI and were partners working bank robberies, kidnappings and fugitive cases together. They became fast friends - to the extent that Joe was actually adopted "Indian Way" by Walter's mother Catherine.
Joe is an immigration Attorney in Atlanta, however, having taught criminal jurisdiction in Indian Country for the past seven years, is one of the foremost Indian Country jurisdiction experts in the Nation. He has worked with Lamar Associates as an Indian Country legal instructor for the past three years.
Joe transferred from the FBI to the United States Customs Service and in the years 1998 through 2000 he was a Senior Special Agent assigned to investigations of internet sexual exploitation of children. His assignment was with the FBI Innocent Images Project. For his outstanding work he was presented the 1999 National Center for Missing and Exploited Childrens' National Award for Investigative Excellence and in 2001 the Eastern District of Virginia's United States Attorney's Public Service Award.
In 1992 through 2000 Joe was the General Counsel for the National Native American Law Enforcement Officers Association.
We are extremely proud to have an opportunity to work with Joe and appreciate his sincere dedication to Native people.
