I’m Geoff Weber from Lenox, Masssachsetts. I left the business world on September 12, 2001 to serve in the US intelligence community, receiving a commission in the US Navy in 2002. I attained the rank of Commander in my twenty years before retirement on April 1, 2022. I served on ships, SEAL teams, and overseas stations. My most arduous tour was serving as a diplomat in Moscow, Russia, advising leadership in Washington, DC of future attacks on Ukraine.

My name is Morgan Hoogvelt and I reside in Helotes, TX…a little suburb right outside San Antonio, TX. I spent 8 years in the US Navy, on both sides of the coin (prior enlisted and officer). I separated in December of 2004 as a Lt. JG and had spent a couple years on the USS John F. Kennedy (CV-67), which was probably most interesting to me as living on a ship is a very unique experience.
