Abel's Story
After high school I remained active in civic and political affairs in Austin and especially South Austin. I was elected to the Austin School Board and served on numerous other civic positions. I have two great sons who still reside in the Austin area. I have a daughter in law and three fantastic grandchildren.
I relocated to Dallas Texas in order to accept the position of Dallas Regional Director of Peace Corps. I served as Associate Director of Peace Corps in Washington DC before moving to Los Angeles. I moved back to Texas in 2008 and created my own company in 2009.
I am currently owner of a professional services company Public Integrity Fraud Specialists. I strive to be a first responder in investigating fraud for clients and especially clients who depend on public funds or public good will.
I am an excellent proactive and visionary leader managing audit, compliance and investigative organizations. I have proven success creating inspector general and audit organizations, managing multi-million-dollar budgets, fostering a positive work atmosphere and directing numerous complex financial fraud audits and public corruption investigations.

In order to be cost effective and efficient for my clients, I specialize in rapidly identifying fraudulent transactions or weak internal control environments that lead to fraud instead of spending needless time and money with time consuming accounting procedures. I pride myself to be a rapid response consultant who can quickly assess whether there are any elements of fraud and develop a fraud examination game plan.
I also have extensive management experience which has proven to be extremely helpful in balancing out the requirements of audits and evaluations with the practical operational needs of any organization.
I have demonstrative communication, leadership and team building skills because of expertise in government and public affairs positions.
