My day job for 26 years was as an operations officer and senior manager with the Central Intelligence Agency’s Directorate of Operations and the Directorate of Science and Technology. A Vietnam veteran, I served from 1970-74 as a 1st Lieutenant U.S.M.C. infantry officer. I have an MA in philosophy and am a PhD. candidate while pursing my post-retirement interests in outdoor activities, and U.S. government issues.
