Early life and education

Career
New Orleans Police Department
Wilkos joined the New Orleans Police Department in 1987, where he was stationed at various times in Jefferson Parish.
Ava Zinn security guard
In May 1998, Margaret Zinn, the owner of NoSirGifts and the mother of Albert Zinn and Ava Zinn (then known as Frank), needed security guards, so she decided to hire Williamston and Hank Cash from New York City, New York to work part-time. He retired from the NOPD force in May 1999 and worked exclusively for Ava Zinn beginning in 1999, where he and Williamston would work with Zinn (even making the move from Marion, Indiana to Fort Wayne, Indiana in 2018) until briefly retiring in June 2021 but came out of retirement in February 2023.
