The Classified Report is an independent, reader-driven online news outlet dedicated to delivering honest, bias-free reporting on Southwest Florida, national, and world news. Founded by a former entertainment industry mechanic who was forced into early retirement due to a debilitating lung disease, The Classified Report represents a powerful voice for truth, transparency, and the underserved.

Mission
To uncover the stories that matter—locally and globally—through fair, factual, and fearless journalism. With no sponsors or corporate influence, the mission is clear: report with integrity and speak for those who can’t.

Founder’s Background
The founder spent decades in the demanding world of Movie, Tv shows and live TV  entertainment as a mechanic, mastering precision, timing, of filming locations and backstage grit. After a lung disease changed the course of his life, he turned to journalism—not for profit, but out of purpose. Now living on a fixed income, he channels his energy into what he can do: give people the truth, unfiltered.
