“His approachable and down to earth nature made trainees feel comfortable allowing for genuine two way engagement where their learning was optimised.
Ruben is extremely knowledgeable but it is his thoughtful, relevant and engaging delivery that captures the audience.”
Detective Sergeant Bryan Laumatia, North Island CIB Training, Counties Manukau Police Station
After two decades of working at crime scenes and managing forensic investigations - and everything that came after - I believe in sharing what I’ve learned. Not the TV version. The real version.
I offer training that’s direct, human and grounded in lived forensic experience. Whether you're a lawyer, medical professional, police officer or frontline expert, my workshops and sessions make space for hard forensic and investigative truths, practical tools and honest questions.
