Jim DiOrio is a former FBI Interrogation Expert, Undercover Operative, and Military Veteran. A 1986 West Point Graduate, Jim served overseas as an Army Ranger before joining the FBI, where he'd spend a decade as one of the most successful undercover agents in Bureau history. After that, he'd go on to turn another 15 years at the Bureau as a ferocious interrogator and Special Agent In-Charge. Rumor has it that he was even the man who told Captain Phillips that he could have his boat back.
Today, Jim is the CEO of J3 Global, an international crisis security firm that Jim describes as 'Ray Donovan with more experience.' He also does some work with former CIA agent Andrew Bustamante at Everyday Spy - a potent combination of FBI and CIA experience that's been making waves all over the internet.
