About Michael Jaquish

Michael Jaquish spent nearly fifteen years as a police officer and police chief before a thirst for adventure sent him to South America, West Africa, and Southeast Asia.

He spent the next eight years running diplomatic security and intelligence operations for US Embassies and NASA Space Shuttle abort landing sites in Liberia, The Gambia, Sierra Leone and Morocco.

After being involved in three African revolutions, Mike returned to the United States to write about his adventures. TALES OF A COUNTRY COP IN AFRICA and A NOVEL LIFE can be purchased via this website or from amazon.com.

He now resides in Gig Harbor, Washington where he provides executive protection and works as an international security consultant and private investigator and conducts training for the private security industry.

A lifetime of observing the human condition, often at it worst, has compelled Michael to conclude that tribalism is a fundamental component of the human survival formula. Males are born hard-wired to "mark their territory" and express dominance. It is Darwin's theory of survival of the fittest in action and it works to produce future generations of human beings who are stronger, more capable and more dominant than previous generations. The strongest males become the leaders and quite often, they lead their tribe to expand their territory, either literally by conquests of nearby countries or intellectually, by spreading their tribe's cultural philosophies. These hard-wired attitudes predictably produce much violence, hatred and war. World peace will never arrive until we as a species come to recognize this fundamental dynamic and dedicate ourselves to changing our own paradigm by becoming a truly peace-loving species instead of a species that respects violence and accepts domination.

What clients are saying about Mike:

"I am taking the opportunity to commend the outstanding performance and staunch dedication of Mike Jaquish, the Wackenhut representative in The Gambia... Through Mike's professional ability, foresight, and logical application of sound management principles, he guided independent contractors to successfully complete modifications that were well within specifications mandated by NASA." -- Thomas W. Howard, NASA Ground Operations Manager
