About
Good
question. I'm still working on the
answer
I was born to a normal
middle-class family in the foothills of the Ozark
Mountains, west of St. Louis, Missouri. After an
unremarkable youth and adolescence, I joined the US Army as
an infantryman in 1975 and transferred to Military
Intelligence as a Counterintelligence Agent in 1982. I
remained in the counterintelligence world from 1982 to
2015 with the Army, various contractors,
Multi-National Force–Iraq, US Forces–Afghanistan, and
Defense Intelligence Agency. In 2015 I returned home
to Texas and worked as an independent consultant. I put
work on hold in 2020 to provide full-time care for my
wife of 42 years, until her passing in January
2021. In May 2021 I began working as
a marketing consultant for an
IT firm.
In my life, I have been a cattle
rancher, hayfield worker, apple picker, warehouse worker,
convenience store clerk, infantryman, husband, father,
leader, sergeant, scuba diver, dive boat captain,
investigator, military officer, bodyguard, security
officer, bouncer, private investigator, network
administrator, IT trainer, IT team leader, intelligence
officer, intelligence team leader, grad student, a senior
advisor to all coalition forces in Iraq, military
hospital patient, grandfather x 5, a widower, a program
manager, biker, independent consultant, senior
intelligence subject matter expert, senior intelligence
planner and now, trying to figure this shit
out.
