Rune Forensics: Clarity from Complexity

With over a decade of investigative experience and a strong foundation in law enforcement, Rune Forensics offers a unique blend of practical casework and technical expertise. Background includes leading digital forensic investigations, managing evidence in high-stakes criminal cases, and providing courtroom testimony that withstands scrutiny. Today, Rune Forensics brings that same rigor to legal professionals, businesses, and private clients, transforming complex digital data into clear, defensible evidence.

About

Rune Forensics is an independent digital forensic practice built on advanced technical expertise and a commitment to clarity. I am a CISSP certified professional with master’s degrees in Cybersecurity and Criminal Justice, bringing both technical depth and legal context to the analysis of digital evidence.


My background includes over 1,000 hours of specialized training through nationally recognized institutions, including the National Computer Forensics Institute and SANS. I have completed advanced hands on training in mobile device forensics, cloud based investigations, network intrusions, and digital evidence analysis. This work is supported by both vendor neutral and vendor specific certifications, including CISSP, CFCE, CAWFE, CMDE, CEH, CHFI, CCME, and MCFE.


My experience is grounded in real world investigations at the federal, state, and local levels. I have worked matters ranging from property crimes and misdemeanors to complex homicide and human trafficking investigations. I also previously held a certification as a Drug Recognition Expert, providing additional context when digital evidence intersects with impairment related investigations.


My approach is straightforward. I focus on identifying and preserving relevant digital evidence, applying sound forensic methodology, and presenting findings in clear, defensible reports. The goal is to provide accurate results that withstand scrutiny and support informed decision making.
