J. Michael McNealy

Born on the grounds of the United States Military Academy at West Point, New York, Michael started life as a military brat -- living in California, Kansas, Paris, and then finally Virginia where his family settled in Vienna once his father retired from the Army.

Despite his birth at West Point which most would think prophetic, he never planned to join the Army. However, he retired in the summer of 2017 with over 25 years of service as an Intelligence Officer in the U.S. Army, deploying multiple times to the Middle East and Africa, and having served in command and staff positions from the Platoon Level to the Army Staff and Joint Agencies.

He currently lives in Falls Church, Virginia.
