Founder and CEO
Ernie served about 30 years in the U.S. Army, most of them as a military intelligence officer. He commanded an Arkansas Army National Guard Military Intelligence Company and led a counterterrorism team at the Defense Intelligence Agency.
He founded Insight Shield in 2023 to put that experience to work for the businesses, agencies and nonprofits that support the mission.
