Meet the Founders


Trust the Professionals

Robert is the founder and co-owner of API

Robert has been working in the state of Colorado as an investigator for over 10 years. Robert is fluent in speaking, writing and reading Spanish, and utilizes those skills when taking (and translating) Spanish statements. He is highly experienced in insurance fraud and claims investigations, and specializes in surveillance. Robert has trained investigators in writing effective, professional reports, stationary and mobile surveillance, and the use of up-to-date surveillance equipment. He has worked surveillance cases all over the state of Colorado, as well as Utah and Wyoming. He is licensed in Utah. Robert is quick on his feet when it comes to working with false or inaccurate information, often finding hard-to-locate subjects where other investigators throw in the towel. He has worked cases for most of the major insurance carriers in Colorado.


Andrea is the co-founder and co-owner of API

Andrea has been a professional investigator for nearly 11 years, working in the state of Colorado as an investigator for seven years. Her background includes internal investigations and surveillance for a major casino, before focusing on insurance fraud and claims investigations. Andrea is licensed as an investigator in Kansas and Utah, specializing in worker's compensation surveillance, in addition to auto claims, employee misconduct and other related investigations. Andrea's skills are in high demand. She has worked cases for most of the major insurance companies in Colorado.


When lawyers or clients ask me for a referral to do surveillance, I immediately think of Robert and Andrea. They have such sterling reputations in this specialty, and know so many tricks of the trade that they can bring to bear to successfully resolve a client's problem.


They are so gracious in sharing their expertise with fellow investigators, and have been stalwarts and huge contributors in the Professional Private Investigators Association of Colorado...I cannot say enough about this husband and wife surveillance team. In short, AWESOME, and you will not be disappointed if you retain them, no matter how difficult or sensitive the assignment.
