An Introduction Of The FBI Unit Chief Public Private Alliance Unit

WASHINGTON DC – Hello and thank you for the opportunity to introduce myself as the new unit chief of the FBI Cyber Division’s Public & Private Alliance Unit, which includes the InfraGard Program.

Before I arrived, I heard so many positive things about InfraGard and the membership. It is truly a privilege to join this outstanding group of volunteers committed to the very important mission of protecting our nation?s critical infrastructure and key resources.

I joined the FBI as a Special Agent 12 years ago.

My first office was the Chicago Division, where I investigated white collar crimes and, later, international terrorism matters. In 2005, I received a promotion to FBI headquarters in the Office of Congressional Affairs. All of my assignments have been challenging and rewarding, and I believe InfraGard will be another great experience.

I would like to express my sincere thanks to Special Agent Doug Dvorak. As you may know, Doug served as the Acting Unit Chief since my predecessor?s retirement. I appreciate Doug?s knowledge and enthusiasm for the InfraGard Program. My transition here has been very smooth, in large part, because of him.

I look forward to contributing to the InfraGard Program ? a true success story, thanks to the hard work of so many dedicated professionals. I hope to meet many of you at events throughout the year and welcome your input on how to make InfraGard even better.

The InfraGard Program began in 1996 as a collaborative effort between private sector cyber professionals and the FBI field office in Cleveland, Ohio. The FBI later expanded the program to every field office in the country. In 2003 the private sector members of InfraGard formed the – InfraGard National Members Alliance. The INMA LLC is comprised of 86 separate 501(c)3 InfraGard Members Alliances that represent over 31,000 FBI-vetted, InfraGard Subject Matter Experts. The INMA has a dual-focus value proposition. It provides its members with unmatched opportunities to promote the physical and cyber security of their organizations through access to a trusted, national network of Subject Matter Experts from the public and private sectors. And, it provides government stakeholders, across the local, state, and Federal levels, with unmatched access to the expertise and experience of critical infrastructure owners and operators.
