Your Bio

Starting my PhD in IT Management (JAN 2008). My career started when I joined the USN after college in 1981. Went to the USS Portsmouth (SSN-707) for a long tour during the cold war with two major deployments totalling 1 year. Left the USN after just under 7 years and went USNR for another 10 1/2 where I was assigned USS Exploit (MSO-440) during the 1st gulf war and was assigned as a USN/USCG/Friendly Foreign Navy ship inspector stationed in Cuba at GITMO. Left NAVSPECWAR MIUW-202 in 1999 at about 18 years service to go US Army Reserve as an MP platoon leader for the 325th MI BN of the 94th RRC. After several unit activations, I deployed to the 2003 invasion of Iraq as a GS-15/COL living in Saddam's Ramadan palace until Aug 03 where I returned to the FBI in DC as an analyst. Six months later I was activated out of the IRR to return to Tikrit for another full year where I was MEDEVAC'd and survived an IED attack in Tikrit (Nov 2004). Upon returning stateside, I left the FBI and now consult to the DoD as a systems interoperability inspector at JITC command, Indian Head. With my wife of 25 yrs and 2 remaining daughters at home, we currently reside on an island in the Potomac river where we boat, fish, garden and where I write about the national security threats America faces from within in commands like the 167th CSG and their commanding officer, COL Gordon McKenzie who has violated virtually every national security regulation and surely endangered the lives of our soldiers fighting for this nation's survival.

2007 (May) Andrews AFB Air Show : It's like an aura that follows me... My day at the air show end with my 14 yr old getting ill, the paramedics involved at the show and then, upon leaving, she gets well enough to storm off with an attitude, gets on the wrong bus w/o me, her sister or her cell phone.  2 hrs later, the airfield is clear of everyone except us and the entire security apparatus of the air show frantically searching for the missing child!  Monday morning, the security incident makes it all the way back to me at JITC command...  No more air shows for you unless you're handcuffed to ME!

2004 Iraq War (Round 2) : One Friday afternoon I was in FBI HQ, DC when I got another phone call... I'd been activated for call up from the IRR of the US Army Reserve to go back to Iraq (Tikrit) for another year.  I was transferred to the 167th CSG.  I'm now writing a book about the national security threats they needlessly exposed our soldiers to while deployed there...
