About the Author
After graduating from Georgetown University Law Center and clerking for a federal appeals court judge, I spent a career in the Navy JAG Corps, during which I picked up an LL. M. in Law and Marine Affairs and spent lot of time on Law of the Sea, Oceans Policy, and Rules of Engagement issues. In early 2004, a few years after retirement, I was selected to head up Maritime Protective Services, Inc., a MTSA/ISPS Code training and consulting company with offices in South Florida and England.
