I am still alive and living in Colorado Springs. I have had an eventful past few years. I have a wonderful family. I met my wife, Cindy, in 2004 and we have been blessed with our daughters, Claire (now 3) and Ellie (now 1 ½). . In my opinion, the girls are typical 3 and 1 year olds. Their mother tells their exploits in their own blog, http://bearandbean.blogspot.com/ . My son, Henry (now 13) lives in Texas with his mother. I get to see him in the summers. (Picture above is a bit dated)
I have been working at NORAD and USNORTHCOM for what seems forever. I went to IRR when I took the civil service position at USNORTHCOM in 2004. I work as the Information Operations and Combat Camera Planner for both commands. I really enjoy the mission, how to use information to our advantage. It is a real change from being a Naval Intelligence Officer. As an aside, there are three graduates of Tech in the office. It really helps when the office Aggie tries to make a statement.
I would have posted to the blog sooner. Between home, work and NPS master's degree program, I have been a little busy. I just graduated from NPS in December. My degree is in Homeland Defense and Security Leadership through NPS and Center for Homeland Defense and Security. Got to spend 18 months online and short in-residence periods with several Homeland Security practitioners. To make it even cooler, I graduated 20 years to the day that I joined the Navy.
I hope everyone is doing well. If you are ever in Colorado Springs, look me up. My email is levganin@gmail.com.
