About

Who I am.

I am a national security and open-source intelligence analyst, an investigative journalist, and a regular on-air voice on foreign influence and global security.

I served as a U.S. Air Force officer and intelligence analyst at the National Security Agency (NSA), as a Hebrew translator and Regional Media Analyst at U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM), and as a contract open-source intelligence instructor for the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). In the private sector I have led media and social-media analysis as Director of Media at two cybersecurity companies.

I founded ShadowGraph Intelligence to investigate extremism, foreign influence operations, coordinated inauthentic behavior (bots and sock puppets), anonymous online actors, and complex digital networks.

Using open-source and narrative-intelligence methods, I identify hidden actors, map influence ecosystems, and turn complex digital evidence into clear, public-facing analysis for media, legal, policy, and private-sector audiences.
