John Tully Gordon
Deputy Director, NYPD Dept. Intel & Counterterroism Bureau
"Mr. Gordon is not only a great practitioner of intelligence, but his body of knowledge on the subject rivals that of any person I have encountered in both my academic and professional life. Add to that his exceptional ability as a leader, the kind who would never ask anything of his subordinates that he would not do himself, and you start to touch on the kind of dedicated professional Mr. Gordon is.

John Cominsky
Associate Professor, Monmouth, University
"John has inspired hundreds of students to believe that they are theorist; instilling in them the metacognition needed to form and defend their ideas against critical analysis. He makes it personal that they become better writers in order to communicate their ideas. Some students want more. John has identified and mentored seven graduate assistants. He has inspired three of these students to further research, write, and share their theories and ideas."
