He knows where they eat, sleep and work. He knows their taste in men or women. He knows where they go late at night. He even knows their feelings. “I feel like a therapist,” Tilis said. “I’m al- ways giving advice.” But Tilis is not a therapist. He’s a private investigator. He usually works out of his car to catch cheating husbands and wives in the act. After five years of experience working with infidel- ity cases, the game of love is no joke to Tilis. According to Tilis, his clients are right 98 percent of the time when they think their partner is cheating. The ratio of female and male clients hov- ers around 50/50 in his practice. He credits women’s intuition and masculine jealousy as reasons for getting hired by his clients. In a Paris Baguette bakery in Millbrae, Tilis recounted how he got into his line of work. His role as part-time private eye, part-time counselor came after an uncommon upbring- ing and education.
