About
Bob Hicks, an eminent native Texan, devoted four decades of his existence to the defence of U.S. national security, spanning the Cold War’s zenith and paramount epochs in federal law enforcement. His ascension commenced as an enlisted Airman, where exacting roles in Nuclear Weapons Maintenance and Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) rapidly illuminated his fortitude under duress.
Experience
Hicks’s operational acuity secured him a coveted berth on the elite Strategic Air Command MSET. Subsequently, he transitioned to the civilian ranks of the Air Force Office of Special Investigations (OSI), attaining the pinnacle as a Senior Federal Law Enforcement Officer (GS-15) and Special Agent in Charge. He marshalled global investigations against substantial fraud and terrorism.
His unimpeachable integrity was immortalized by his OSI Hall of Fame induction in 2013. He now resides in Texas with his spouse, Janet, their children, and grandchildren.
