Morgan spent the first 17 years of his career in state and local law enforcement as a highly decorated officer, state trooper and detective in Salina, KS. In 2000, he left for Washington, DC where he has spent the past 15 years leading investigations and creating solutions to prevent major cybersecurity attacks on behalf of the US departments of Justice, Defense and Homeland Security and of several private sector clients.
