Anji Fussell
Anji is a proud mother of 4 children. Two boys ages 23 and 20 as well as two girls ages 16 and 8 years. She has an Associates degree in Law Enforcement and a Bachelor of Science degree in Criminal Justice.
Anji performed her college internship with the Victoria County Juvenile Probation Department where she cut her teeth as a Juvenile Probation Officer (JPO). She loved it and found that the kids responded very favorably to her compassionate approach. She loved it so much, in fact, that she accepted a permanent job as a JPO and spent the next seven years refining her skills and developing a real passion for helping the challenged and at-risk youth that she was appointed to work with.
Her experience as a Probation Officer, along with her degree in criminal justice, led Anji to the Austin Police Department (APD) where she was hired as a Background Investigator. It was during her time with the APD that her love of investigation led her to the realization that she wanted to become an independent private investigator.
Anji, not one to be dissuaded by risks, took the leap and decided to pursue her career as a private investigator. She apprenticed with another well-established private investigator for a year, and then in 2003 opened up She Spies Private Eye, Inc., which has been flourishing ever since.
Anji has an undeniable love for child custody cases and is exceptionally interested in helping the children that are frequently caught in the middle of ugly divorce settlements or court cases. She also has a passion for working with the struggling teens. This no doubt stems from her previous involvement as a JPO and being a "mom."
Anji is very involved with her Church where she is active in the Choir. Her 16 year daughter actively attends the Youth Group on Wednesday nights, while Mom is in regular service.
Anji works along side with her fiancé, Ronnie Manning. Between the two of them, they have 7 children. "Family time is always a blast with our kids. We enjoy camping, bowling, watching movies, eating out, and playing monopoly. It can be chaotic at times, but the love between us all is very evident."
Bill Croft
Bill Croft has extensive professional and personal experience relative to his position with CSY. He is the father of four children between the ages of 5 and 14, and he has a BS in Education from the State University of New York (SUNY) in Cortland. He also has a Liberal Arts degree and an AAS in Criminal Justice, and serves in the United States Army Reserve. As a police officer with more than 15 years of experience, Bill is a valuable resource when interfacing with others in the criminal justice system, and he has been working with CSY since 2006.
Carma Croft
Carma Croft juggles a busy schedule as a mother of four and a full-time college student, in addition to her work with CSY. Her academic major is Special Education, with a focus on sign language (in which she is fluent). She is very involved in her children's sporting events, which include volleyball, basketball, lacrosse, soccer and (just recently introduced) hockey). Somehow she also finds time to participate every week as an active member of an adult volleyball league. Her specialized training includes SCIP (Strategy Crisis Intervention Prevention), certification in the SAVE legislation and CPR certification.
Ralph Smith
Ralph Smith came to CSY with an extensive background in private security and investigations. His passion for helping kids in crisis began with the Therapeutic Foster Care Parent program in Virginia in 1999, which targeted youth with special needs and at-risk adolescents. Ralph holds current licensure and registration in private security, bail enforcement and private investigations, in addition to his Bachelor of Science in Public Affairs from Lincoln University and special training in Psychosocial Rehabilitation and Cultural Awareness. His mild manner and cool head bring a very calming influence to any crisis situation.
