The principal and owner of the Corporation is Rory J McMahon, CLI, CFE.
Rory McMahon is a former U.S. Probation and Parole Officer in the Southern District of New York and the Southern District of Florida. He supervised organized crime figures in both jurisdictions. Rory has been a licensed private investigator in Florida for fifteen years. He is a Certified Legal Investigator, a distinction held by fewer than one hundred investigators worldwide. He is also a Board Certified Criminal Defense Investigator (CCDI), a Certified International Investigator (CII) and a Florida Certified Investigator (FCI). Rory is the author of two textbooks on the subject of investigation, Fraud Investigation (revised 2008), and Practical Handbook for Professional Investigators, 2nd Edition (2007). He is the owner of McMahon and Associates Detective Division, a very successful private investigation agency located in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida. He was a founding father of the Florida Association of Licensed Investigators (FALI), and has served on the boards of FALI, the South Florida Investigators Assoc. (SFIA), and the National Association of Legal Investigators (NALI). He was the Department Chair of the Private Investigation Services Program at City College from 1992 thru 1997. He presided over the growth of the program from one to three campuses. He authored most of the textbooks used to teach the classes while serving as an Associate Professor.

During the past 12 months, Rory has worked to completely revise the PI program with new material, new textbooks, and a powerful new direction. The program consists of nine core courses, which are well suited to certificate or degree and formatted for traditional classroom or distance learning. All materials for the course were approved for U.S. copyright in July 2004.
