My years in and around the White House allowed me to work with and get to know some truly first-class individuals. Bill Henkel, Mike Deaver, Tom Pernice, Jeannie Bull, Rick Ahern, Grey Terry, Jim Hooley, Andy Littlefair, Gary Foster, Jim Kuhn, Dave Fisher, Dan Murphy, Steve Purcell, Tom Fleener, and Craig Whitney. These are men and women who, along with many other staff and press corps members, made working at the White House such a unique experience. Many of them dedicated years away from more lucrative careers in order to serve their country. Knowing them and sharing all those unforgettable moments with them has been a highlight of my career.
Thankfully, there is life after the Secret Service. For that, and for so many other things, I am enormously grateful to Sandy Weill and Chuck Prince. I especially want to thank my colleagues in Citigroup Security and Investigative Services, most notably my good friend and colleague, Dick Steiner.
Because there have been so many people who contributed in various ways to this project or have been an important part of my life, I worry that I may forget a few. If I do, I hope they will understand.
I want to add a few words, here, about my parents, Joseph and Dorothy. Both of them, in their own way, provided my brothers and me with a loving and supportive home. Their faith in us and encouragement were always there, paving the way for us to pursue our dreams.
Finally, there is my daughter, Michelle. From the day she was born, she brought sunshine into my life. I love her and am so very proud of her.
