Question

Scott Sweetow · Answer

So, a little bit about myself in 120 seconds. I went to the University of Arizona in Tucson to get my undergraduate degree in Russian and Soviet area studies, but around the time I was getting ready to graduate, the Soviet Union collapsed. So I had to kind of reshuffle what I wanted to do for a job. I ended up as a federal agent in 1990 with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives, commonly known as ATF. And I started out in Los Angeles as an arson explosives agent, did a number of supervisory assignments, became a senior executive eventually in the Atlanta Field Division, and then the St. Paul, Minnesota divisions, became ATF's Deputy Assistant Director for Intelligence, the number two person for intelligence in ATF. And then finally, my last four years, I was at the FBI's Terrorist Explosive Device Analytical Center or TDAC, where I was the deputy director and ended up as the acting director. I formed my own company called S3 Global Consulting, where I do counterterrorism work, media work, training and teaching, a lot of overseas assignments. I really do enjoy overseas work and travel in general. I've been to about 75 countries and that's a passion of mine. I also enjoy writing a lot. I'm a kind of semi-professional writer and tend to write articles about military related subjects and public safety things. So that in a nutshell tells you a little about me. I look forward to answering your questions. Thank you very much.
