Thomas's Story
Life
My wife, Elizabeth, and I have been married for 17 years and have three wonderful children. Robert is 10, Chrysanthe is 8 and Charity is 4. Check out my pictures if you're curious.
Elizabeth is one of those unique individuals who is as brilliant as she is beautiful, and if I may brag on her for a second, she earned a full tuition scholarship to Boston University to get her MA in English by scoring a perfect score on the Logic section of the Graduate Record Exam (GRE)...
How does she put that brilliance to work? In a word: Homeschooling! We consider it an awesome responsibility to be entrusted with the molding of three wonderful children, and take the Godly task of raising them up in the way they should go so that in their age they shall not depart from it. Elizabeth teaches the kids phonics, reading, English, Classical Studies (Robert is studying Latin), health, social studies, etc. And I teach them math and science. Robert and Chryssy are also studying German on saturdays at a German-government run school in the Washington area, and they also study piano with a private tutor.
We are active members in Cornerstone Evangelical Free Church, and I have served there as Elder 2000-2003, Stewardship Minister 2003-2005, and web master 2000-present [Classmates won't let me list the URL here so email me if you're a Gold Member and I'll email it to you if you're interested...] Since April of 2003 I have been digitizing all of our pastor's sermons, converting them to .mp3/.m4a formats and posting them so that anyone who wants can listen via the web. All you need is Apple's free iTunes for PC or MAC to listen to the Advanced Audio Coded (.m4a) files. Elizabeth has written over 250 Bible-studies aimed at meeting the needs of small churches, such as ours (Our directory fits on one side of an 8.5x11 sheet of paper), basically how you can do a weekly 45 minute Bible lesson in a one-room schoolhouse type environment.
We live in Maryland, where it's often too warm for our liking...
Workplace
From 1987-1999 I served in the US Army as an Intelligence Officer, and Counterintelligence Special Agent. See the Military Tab for more details <g>.
I got out of the Army in December 1999 and took a commercial position with Trident Data Systems as an Advanced Examiner with the DOD Computer Forensic Laboratory (DCFL). In that capacity I performed media examinations on behalf of the various investigative services of DOD: The Air Force's Office of Special Investigations (OSI), Army CI, Army CID, Marine Corps Intelligence, Naval Intelligence, Naval Investigative Service, Defense Criminal Investigative Service, and for other DOD customers including NSA, and the Counterintelligence division of the National Reconnaissance Observatory.
In July 2001, an Army buddy recruited me to build a forensic capability for the US Department of Energy at ACS Defense. In that capacity I performed examinations of media for several national labs and DOE counterintelligence. On the commercial side, I was also called in by ACS's Government Solutions Group (which ran the computers & networks for the US Senate and House of representatives) to recover data for two US Senators. ACS Defense was bought by Lockheed Martin Information Technology in 2003. Our forensic lab became the focal point for forensics within the entire Lockheed Martin organization, and I was the laboratory chief, a direct report to the program manager.
In July 2005 I left LM and joined dNovus RDI, a woman-owned, minority-owned, veteran-owned, small disadvantaged business headquartered in San Antonio Texas as their Program Manager for Computer Forensics for their Information Assurance division which is located in Columbia, Maryland, close to the DC Area. Today I work with the FBI and other agencies in the US Intelligence Community at the DNI's National Media Exploitation Center (NMEC). NMEC has the responsibility of performing all the Document Exploitation work for the Defense Intelligence Agency, and is a multi-agency effor t. The team I lead represents the DO...Expand for more
D Computer Forensic Laboratory (DCFL). We have the honor and responsibility to exploit all media captured in the global war on terrorism.
Military
I served in the army from 1987-1999.
In 1987 I began my active duty career by spending my first six months as a "Gold Bar" recruiter and was assigned to Penn State's McKeesport Campus south east of Pittsburgh. I visited over fifty high schools in the Pittsburgh metropolitan area, to help establish the brand new ROTC offering at McKeesport for the following school year.
In February 88 I was off to sunny Fort Huachuca, Arizona and spent 6 months at Military Intel Officer Basic Course (MIOBC).
From there I was assigned to the 311th Military Intelligence Battalion (CEWI) where I served as an Asst S3, Platoon Leader of a Collection and Jamming Platoon, and was serving as the ARTBASS Threat Interactor on the G3 staff when I was recalled by the battalion to serve as the S3's Night shift officer during Operation Desert Shield. I deployed to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia 2 Sep 90 and returned to Campbell 7 April 1991. The roughest 7 months of my life. I like to think the reason the army's having such a difficult time finding Saddam's weapons of mass destruction is that we did such a good job destroying his chemical and biological weapons plants the first time around. Just before Operation Desert Storm kicked off, the Battalion Commander asked me to serve as his S2, a position I held until Elizabeth and I left Fort Campbell in August of 1992.
After the MI Advanced Course and CI Track courses, we deployed to Germany and spent three wonderful years exploring nearly every nook and cranny of Europe. I served the 66th MI Group as it's HUMINT staff officer from May 1993-August 1994, then I commanded HHC, 18th MI BN (CI/H) and was so successful at inactivating a Battalion headquarters with no reports of survey, I was given a second command, Delta Company Collection Battalion, transitioning all of the 5th MI Company (HUMINT) personnel to the Defense HUMINT Service. When I finished that gig in October 1985, we learned that Elizabeth was pregnant with Robert and would soon be returning stateside, but before that happened, I had to close out our time in Europe--and I was honored to serve as the Collection Manager for the US Army Europe Combat Intelligence Readiness Facility (UCIRF) at Gablingen Kaserne, just north of Augsburg. I used the newly created Intelink system to disseminate resource status reports and maps and to track Priority Intelligence Requirements (PIR) within the European command as we incurred militarily as Peacemaking forces into the Bosnian conflict.
In April I went to Romania for the second time with Military Community Youth Ministries (MCYM) and had a blast working with kids to improve conditions for gypsy children in Arad, Romania. We built a playground at a school, and I put up a couple basketball hoops at another. The previous year we'd gone to Dezna Romania and I built two Wheelchair ramps and some bookshelves for the kids crippled with Polio at the children's hospital there.
Our son Robert graced us with his presence on Father's day--June 16th. I then reported into the Combined Arms and Services Staff School at Fort Leavenworth, Kansas for the last 9 week course.
In October 96 I reported in to the US Army Signal Center and School at Fort Gordon for the Systems Automation Staff Officer Course. Elizabeth and Robert and I lived off base in austere conditions, with only our hold baggage for the 6 months of the course. The course was a great MIS refresher, bringing me up to speed on Ada, Visual Basic, HTML and military-specific systems analysis, design, engineering and security.
I couldn't have asked for a better final assignment: on March 21st 1997, I reported in to the 902nd's 310th MI Battalion, the technical counterintelligence battalion where I was assigned to the Information Warfare Branch, and served as their chief of investigations and as the first director of the Army Counterintelligence Computer Forensic Laboratory.
