James Daugherty

James Daugherty is an Ex-CIA intelligence expert who specializes in all forms of communication and elite human performance.

He majored in Forensics & Psychology at Florida State University before being recruited into the FBI in 1994, initially as an analyst working a desk job. He quickly graduated to a Special Agent working more complex and dangerous cases in the field before joining his latest employer - the CIA.

Now retired, James has resisted the university lecturing roles and advisory law enforcement positions in exchange for a more low key life with his family on the West Coast. He does take on occasional private consultancy work however prefers to spend his days walking the dog and writing about his trials & tribulations in the field as an American spy.

He never realised how much the skills he acquired over his 20 years in the intelligence game would help people in civilian life. His writing is a combination of fascinating anecdotes, clever tactics/tricks along with the scientific rationale to back up his advice.
