Mike has also been an advisor on science and technology policy to the UK's Joint Intelligence Committee, Ministry of Justice, and Defense Science and Technology Laboratories, helping them to evolve an operational and policy consensus relating topics from cryptography and virtual worlds, through the burgeoning surveillance society, to the proliferation of weapons of mass disruption (not just “destruction”) and their effects on global, regional, national, and personal security. For a time, this had him sometimes known as the UK's nonresident expert on outer space law.

Mike has been supporting the work of (ISC)² by writing, editing, and updating books, study guides, and course materials for both their SSCP and CISSP programs. He wrote the SSCP Official Study Guide 2nd Edition in 2019, followed quickly by the SSCP Official Common Book of Knowledge 5th Edition. He was lead author for the 2021 update of (ISC)²'s official CISSP and SSCP training materials. Mike has also contributed to several industry roundtables and white papers on digital identity and cyber fraud detection and prevention and has been a panelist and webinar presenter on these and related topics for ACAMS.

Mike earned his BS and MS degrees in computer science, both with minors in electrical engineering, from Illinois Institute of Technology, and his MA in Defence Studies from King's College, London. He is a graduate of the Federal Chief Information Officer program at National Defense University and the Program Manager's Course at Defense Systems Management College.

Mike and his wife Nancy currently call Wexford, Ireland, their home. Living abroad since the end of the last century, they find new perspectives, shared values, and wonderful people wherever they go. As true digital nomads, it's getting time to move again. Where to? They'll find out when they get there.
