Ty Fincher brings over a decade of elite U.S. Army Special Operations experience and proven private investigation expertise to Turnstone Intelligence. His military tenure, marked by three Bronze Star Medals, included covert influence, counterterrorism, and multinational operations, and ranged from leading tactical teams in combat operations in Iraq and Afghanistan to briefing and advising strategic commanders like GEN David Petraeus.
