Career
After spending a few years as a history teacher at Father Judge High School in Philadelphia,[3] he joined the Secret Service in Philadelphia in the 1980s. Subsequently, he worked in the New York field office, directing a team of agents that conducted major investigations. He was in charge of security at national special events before joining the president’s protective detail.[2] He lives in the Philadelphian metropolitan area[4] with Andrea, his wife of 31 years, and four children.[5]
During his work on the presidential protection details he was able to achieve a close bond with President Barack Obama, and is well regarded by the White House.
