”Joey” aka Shadow
CEO and founder
Disowned by my family for enlisting in the US Army at 18 and then later being kicked out of the Army (general discharge). I realized at an early age that I had to fend for myself and work twice as hard as everyone else to get where I wanted to be in life. I survived Homelessness, abandonment, prejudices, diseases, wars and bullets. This is where my story begins…
I have been a part of the GWOT (global war on terror) since the age of 18. Former DOD/DHS interpreter, prior TX Law Enforcement, FBI reject turned three letter agency private security contractor. Due to the nature of my work, past and present, much of the information is redacted due to OPSEC and NDA’s.
Also known as “Joey”. Palestinian/Lebanese,UAE born, Interpreter (Arabic) with 13 years of combined specialized MIL, LEO and Fed Gov Security/Intel Contracting Experience. SOCOM Linguist/Cultural Advisor. Counter Terrorism Subject Matter Expert. Gang Intel background. I provide Executive Protection for US intelligence assets, politicians, Royal Family members, CEOs and celebrities. I’m Involved in Anti child trafficking. Recognized by the White House and staff for supervising a completed mission of transporting 1500 trafficked children back to safety (2021, references/letter available). I have contracted with almost every federal/intel agency out there by the time I was 31 (FBI, USMS, ICE, CIA and DOD). Credentials and references available.
I’ve been to over 10 different countries and almost all 50 states. I speak and understand all dialects of Arabic. I started my career at a very young age thus giving me an advantage over the most of my peers. I also graduated high school the youngest of my class at the age of 16. I have been fortunate enough to work in various fields from intel behind a desk to operational field work. I was a major US asset in the war on ISIS in the Middle East and was responsible for providing actionable intelligence and worked as an SME on a counter terrorism project in 2017-18 in the Anti online terrorism war on FTO’s. I was responsible for foiling a domestic terror plot (which the FBI took credit for) & prevented FTO’s from recruiting American citizens.
After my contracting career is over, I plan on publishing my book titled “Joey, The Palestinian refugee: from US Army dropout to Federal Government contractor”
I possess a BS in Criminal Justice with a focus on Homeland Security/Counter terrorism from the University of Houston Victoria. I plan on obtaining my Masters Degree.
Detailed resume with references provided upon request.
