I am Associate Professor in the College of Integrated Science and Technology at
James Madison University. I directed the start-up and now serve as Technical Director of
the JMU's Institute for Infrastructure and Information Assurance (IIIA). Much of my
career was spent at the Defense Nuclear Agency (DNA) and the Defense Threat Reduction
Agency (DTRA) developing protection strategies and guidelines for strategic systems. I
led DNA's EMP program during 1987-94 and recently served as a member of the
Congressional EMP Commission Staff. A primary research interest stems from my tenure as
the director of the Springfield Research Facility, a national center for critical system
vulnerability assessment. I am applying lessons-learned from my DoD experience to
critical civilian infrastructure and community resilience. In addition to teaching, I
consult in the areas of infrastructure assurance, high power electromagnetics, nuclear
and directed energy weapon effects, and risk assessment. I presently serve on the
National Defense Industrial Association (NDIA) Homeland Security Executive Board and the
Virginia Alliance for Secure Computing and Networking.
