Timothy Oates

Although I got my start in the banking industry, first as a bank teller, and then in check processing, I have been a federal background Investigator for over 27 years.

I worked for three different banks as a teller, Quaker City Federal Savings and Loan, Bank of Lakewood, and International City Bank (the last two through an agency called Bankforce). Then, for 27 years, I worked as a federal investigator, first directly through the Defense Investigative Service, and later as a contractor.

I have a Bachelor of Arts degree from Azusa Pacific University, obtained in 1983.
