His accomplishments include commanding the Special Forces Training Battalion at Fort Bragg and the Army brigade at Fort Knox, serving as a White House Fellow during the Clinton and Bush administrations, acting as Staff Director for Tom Ridge in the Homeland Security Council in the wake of the September 11th, 2011 attacks, and leading the development of the color-coded Homeland Security Advisory System. He has written three books of fiction: The Lazarus Covenant, The Sterling Forest, and The Fifth Column.
