He was assigned to leadership positions at the executive and mid-management levels of the agency.  He directed the planning and implementation of criminal investigations including financial crime, identity theft and cyber-crime.  He also conducted and directed security related operations including presidential protection; National Special Security Events; threat intelligence operations, and counter terrorism operations.


· Special Agent in Charge, Louisville, Kentucky Field Office (2002 – 2005)

He directed Secret Service operations and developed enhanced relationships between government, academia and business institutions dedicated to cyber security and the protection of critical infrastructure assets and information technology.

His staff and line personnel were successful in overcoming barriers and embracing change. For example, the Department of Homeland security has the core mission of protecting the country's key infrastructure.  Upon arriving at Louisville to assume the duties of the Special Agent in Charge of the Kentucky district he found that state law enforcement and emergency management organizations were lacking IT connectivity to manage threats and emergencies involving the critical infrastructure within the state of Kentucky.  With the support of the Kentucky Director of Public Safety he partnered with the University of Louisville school of computer engineering develop the knowledge management portal called the Kentucky Key Asset Protection Program.  It was designed to link state law enforcement and emergency management together to share information about infrastructure security matters and emergency response to threats to critical infrastructure facilities and financial institutions.

He was also granted the funding and personnel to establish the Kentucky Computer Forensic Laboratory outside the city of Louisville.  This initiative was a collaborative effort between the University of Louisville, FBI, Secret Service and the Kentucky Department of Public Safety.   His staff worked tirelessly with law enforcement partners to build a state of the art cyber forensics laboratory and staff it with certified computer forensics experts from each of the principal organizations.  The task required all key stakeholders to agree on responsibilities, funding and operational policies that were codified in a complex memorandum of agreement.  In 2005 the laboratory was established and staffed with federal and state investigators with joint funding, policy and protocols.

SALT LAKE CITY WINTER OLYMPICS SECURITY COORDINATOR/VENUE OPERATIONS: 1998 - 2002

In 1998, the Director of the US Secret Service selected him as the 2002 Salt Lake City Winter Olympic Games, Federal Security Coordinator.  The responsibility to secure National Special Security Events like the Olympics came about through President Clinton's, Presidential Decision Directive 63.  The Secret Service had never been responsible for planning and implementing security for public events like Olympics before.  Therefore, he had no template or policy to guide the planning and implementation of the security operations.  His task was to expand the way the Secret Service secured an event site.  He had to design and implement a secure environment that provided protection to the public not just one very important person.  Importantly, he needed to develop the security plan collaboratively with local, state, and federal agencies that worked in concert with the Olympic Organizing Committee and other key stakeholders.  He successfully built a cooperative rapport with law enforcement agencies; business community leaders; health and safety professionals, and a host of local government officials.  They worked together to commit resources and staff to the success of the Winter Olympics.  He directed a staff of Secret Service personnel and technical experts to establish a pathway to success with roles and responsibilities that emphasized cooperation and collaboration.  They created a resilient plan that balanced the need to ensure the security of the event with the fact that it was a worldwide public sporting celebration, not a security event routinely associated with the protection of the President of the United States.

This leadership role allowed him to coordinate the federal effort across several federal and state agencies.  This resulted in a synchronized, strategic federal effort to work in harmony with local authorities and private stakeholders in international business and sports federations.  His hybrid executive assignment directly from the Director of the Secret Service was in keeping with his previous experience leading major security operations around the world.  The nature of the mission requires adroit thinking, political maturity and decisive action.  

Not insignificant was the challenge to bring the full technological capabilities of the United States to the security operations of the Games, especially after the September 11th attacks.  He directed his technical staff to explore and apply all the available security related technology that could act as a force multiplier and early warning system.  Sensors, alarms, CCTV and state of the art IT systems and much more were tested and successfully deployed during the Olympic Games.  He and his technical staff met with vendors and Federally Funded Research and Development Centers representatives to find the best possible technology at the lowest price.  These technical assets had to pass the minimum criteria of no false positives from alarms and sensors and high reliability in cold weather climates at high altitudes.

His leadership over the crafting of budgets in the many millions of dollars and overseeing the negotiation of contracts for everything from technical security enhancements at venues and command centers to sensitive facilities including the Olympic Village and Salt Lake International Airport and many other operational centers and event venues.  Joint operational agreements were negotiated to secure key infrastructure elements and coordinate operational responsibilities with multiple public and private entities.

· Resident Agent in Charge, Great Falls, Montana (1997 – 1998)

He managed the expansion of investigations and intelligence in what was the largest investigative district in the Secret Service at that time.  He also forged stronger cooperative relationships with the Royal Canadian Mounted Police in the Alberta and Saskatchewan Territories,

· Presidential Protection Division, Washington D.C. (1993 –1997)

He was Lead Advance Agent for domestic and international travel for the President of the United States.  He coordinated counter-terrorist activities of domestic and foreign police, military, and intelligence services,

· Secret Service Office of Training, Beltsville, Maryland (1990 – 1993)

He was Course Director, Protective Operations Driving Course.  He developed and taught courses in: Cyber Security, Fraud, Protective Measures, Executive Security, Intelligence, and Physical Security,

· Field Operations, (1984 – 1993)

He investigated numerous threats against the President and other government leaders.  He teamed with White House senior staff, political campaign personnel, and former presidential staff, in advance preparation efforts throughout the world on behalf of several US Presidents, and former Presidents, Vice Presidents and foreign heads of state, from President Gerald Ford to President George W. Bush.  He conducted numerous criminal investigations and intelligence investigations throughout the United States and foreign countries.

UNITED NATIONS INTERREGIONAL CRIME AND JUSTICE RESEARCH INSTITUTE: (senior consultant) 2002 – 2011

During his time with the United Nations he was recognized as an American expert in criminal investigations; justice policy and institutions; counter-terrorism; crisis management and major event security; emergency response operations, and Public Private Partnerships.  He has traveled worldwide to consult on those subjects with numerous government representatives, law enforcement executives, and business leaders.

While consulting for the United Nations he advised and conferred with international corporate leaders and foreign national security entities to form partnerships focused on sharing information and collaboration.  The task fell under the auspices of a UN initiative, approved by signatory nations, designated as the Public Private Partnership.  These partnerships were encouraged to develop around the world to enable countries to harness the expertise and efficiencies of the private sector in exchange for closer relationships and information exchange with government officials and law enforcement.  He traveled with UN officials to many European countries, Russia, China, Israel, and other Middle-Eastern countries to meet with government representatives, NGOs and business leaders to encourage legislation and public policy that promoted national self-reliance, and the development of public private partnerships that enhanced institutional capabilities to combat organized crime and terrorism.  Through these interactions he developed a greater understanding of cultural perspectives and how to use that knowledge to negotiate and communicate effectively cross culturally to achieve important goals.
