About
Who you're booking
Robert is a political scientist and open-source intelligence consultant analyst who translates complex geopolitical events into language a general audience can actually use. He lectures on political science, builds intelligence tools, and works as a licensed EMT — a rare combination of the analytical and the operational.
That range is the point: the same person who can brief a room on national security can speak with authority about crisis, preparedness, and what actually happens when a plan meets reality.
