It is always a pleasure working with Jack on government and corporate projects. Not sure how many we have completed together but we have two more “probables” coming (one corporate and one government). Jack is a consummate professional and fun to work with…and for both qualities I am grateful. He is also surprisingly humble despite all of his accomplishments – it is true to say that he is one of the top consultants used by the U.S. Coast Guard to improve its global cyber program and he has been invaluable in several of my subcontracts/task orders with them.
Recently I had the pleasure of hearing Dr. Jack McCready speak at an Aerospace Event on the topic of risk management and cyber. I was so impressed with how engaging his speaking engagement was. It is not just how impressive Jack's background working so many years with the department of defense. He was so engaging, so knowledgeable and really impactful. I highly recommend Dr. Jack McCready for a variety of tasks. If you can have someone with his depth and insight and experience step into your company and help you and your team navigate the new world of risk, you will benefit forever as the approach Dr. Jack takes to risk and helping your employees learn the best proactive and reactive approaches to your risk. A real pleasure to know Jack and to be connected to him. He is a 12 out of 10.

I've known Jack since the late 1990s when he pioneered the technology behind the Coast Guard's use of force tools and techniques. Jack's thoroughness and professionalism enabled the CG's law enforcement program to muster confidence from senior leaders in the service and government that our tools and techniques would work. Through Jack's painstaking efforts, we were able to add a game-changing suite of tools to the Coast Guard's arsenal, increasing our effectiveness that continues to present day. Years later, Jack continues to solve problems with imagination and know-how that are uncommon and admirable. I'd want to be Jack's teammate any day!

STUDENT TESTIMONIALS
The class was very challenging for me, but I gained so much information. Have a great Summer! Thank you so much for everything. D.H.
Dr. McC. was tough on grading but good to see he cares and is invested in raising the quality standards of the overall program. I learned a lot from him that I can apply to my day job.
