Investigator
Oregon Lic. # 080334

Pete Gioia brings a background in operations and security to his work as a licensed Private Investigator. Before entering investigative work, he held security and operational roles involving planning, coordination, and leadership of teams in high-pressure environments, including large-scale civil protests and sensitive assignments requiring discretion, situational awareness, and disciplined decision-making. These roles demanded real-time judgment, accountability, and a strong ethical foundation under public and legal scrutiny.

​

Pete later transitioned into criminal defense investigations, applying his operational experience to fact development, documentation, and case support. Now with LJK Investigations, he works on felony-level matters, bringing a field-tested understanding of risk, people, and information to each case. His approach is deliberate, ethical, and grounded in the practical realities of complex investigations.
