Responsible for the supervision of all homeland defense activities at the Department of Defense, Mr. McHale frequently lectures on government, law, and military policy. A former marine, he earned his J.D. from Georgetown University Law Center. He was a member of Pennsylvania’s House of Representatives, but resigned in 1991 in order to volunteer for active duty as an infantry officer with the Marine Corps during Operation Desert Shield and Desert Storm. In 1993 Mr. McHale was elected as a Representative for Pennsylvania in the United States’ House of Representatives. He retired from that position in 1999 and became a shareholder in a law firm.
