The Story of the Lyin' Tamer™...
The name of this site has a history that long pre-dates the internet. Here's a small story of a small person who grew up to become a lyin' tamer...
My 3rd birthday and my mom and dad are there with me
One morning in a suburban Boston checkout line, a bell-bottomed girl begged her mother for a pack of Bubble Yum. "Not today, sweetie--we need to buy other things", my mother said. In the complex workings of a four-year-old mind, such information is interpreted as: "we are poor." Fortunately for the Driver family, I had a clever plan...
Me, 4 yrs.
As my mother put away the groceries, I walked up the neighbor's porch and rang the doorbell. Greeted by Mr. Perez, I described the deep financial abyss into which my family had recently fallen. Minutes later, I entered our kitchen and proudly handed my mother a crisp one dollar bill. We were rich! Or so I thought. To my confusion, not only was she mortified, but she also made me return the money. What did it all mean? How else was I to interpret her obvious plea for help in the grocery store? Immediately, I vowed to never be misled again.

People call me the Lyin’ Tamer™ because that's who I am! Since I was barely out of diapers, I've been researching, developing, and years later, I became a Federal Law Enforcement Officer with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF). While with ATF (and since retiring in 2007) I’ve instructed courses on trends, issues, and effective techniques in detecting deception, rapport building, body language, relationships, and cognitive interviewing. And today, I’m the president of the Body Language Institute.

I am the possibility of truth. I am the Lyin’ Tamer™!
