Signature Talks

01

The Four Horsemen of the Gen Z Apocalypse

High-potency THC, harm-reduction drug policy, AI and social media, and internet porn — and their compounding effect on a young mind.

02

Your Government Thinks the 2nd Amendment Is a Privilege, Not a Right

On selective enforcement of constitutional rights — the 1st, 4th and 14th included — and what it reveals about who actually holds power.

03

What Is a Psychopath?

Spotting dangerous personalities — from Bryan Kohberger to Scott Peterson — and why psychiatric medicine keeps missing them.

04

Why Your Police Department Appears Useless

The cops are rarely the problem. How statistics drive policing, and the politics behind institutional failure.

05

Confidence Men and Their Partners in Government

The Rag, the Wire, Nigerian 419s and crypto 'pig butchering' — how the cons are built, and how Madoff evaded detection.

06

AI and the Looming Iceberg

Where artificial intelligence is quietly reshaping media, scientific research, and biosecurity risk.

07

Why Legal Cannabis Is a Scourge on America

The economics of legal vs. illicit markets, and the public-health toll state legalization hasn't solved.

Why Book Him

  • Simply put, something nearly extinct: the blunt, old-school detective who tells it like it is — bred from a healthy distrust of institutions, government, and… well, people of all kinds.
  • A career from the military to law enforcement to undercover operations — and the lessons about human nature that came with it.
  • Author of The Last Lawman, praised by Soldier of Fortune as “unsparing, unromantic, and precise.”
  • Unfiltered, on-record delivery — built for audiences who want a real answer.

Represented for speaking engagements via Big Idea Speakers

“Grevillius neither asks for sympathy nor softens the edges... The Last Lawman is a raw account of a life lived in violence, suspicion, and institutional decay. Unsparing, unromantic, and precise — this book is a record, not a performance.”
— Soldier of Fortune
