Your participation is requested!
We would like to hear from you. Post your messages here.
I am an associate with the law firm of Entwistle and Cappucci. I began my college career at Princeton in the fall of 1959; however, it was not to my liking, and I transferred to the University of Oklahoma. I obtained my undergraduate and law degrees from the University of Oklahoma. I am admitted to practice before the U.S. Tax Court, the U.S. Military Court of Criminal Appeals, the U.S. Supreme Court and the courts of the State of Oklahoma.
During my service with the Army, I was awarded the Bronze Star, Defense Meritorious Service medal, four Army Meritorious Service medals, the Army Commendation medal, and various foreign awards and meritorious unit awards.
As a member of the Armed Services, I served in various legal positions in the Army, including: Staff Judge Advocate, 2nd Infantry Division, Republic of Korea (Senior Legal Advisor to the Commanding General); Deputy Staff Judge Advocate, 4th Infantry Division; Command Judge Advocate, Military Assistance Command (Vietnam) (principal legal advisor to the U.S. Commanding General of Military Region IV, Mekong Delta, Republic of Vietnam); and Team Chief, Office of the Chief Trial Attorney of the Army (represented the Department of the Army in multi-million dollar contract disputes). I was later assigned to the Pentagon where I served as Legal Advisor to the Secretary of the Army, advised the Secretary on Congressional investigative activities, developed and implemented "Legislative Action Plans", acted as liaison with Congressional Oversight and Investigative Committees, represented Department of the Army witnesses appearing before Congress, and acted as Lead Counsel for the Army in all personnel and procurement matters pending before the Congress.
Subsequently, I had the good fortune of being selected by General Colin Powell (then Senior Military Assistant to the Secretary of Defense) to be the Legislative Counsel to Secretary Weinberger. In this capacity, my responsibilities were to develop and implement defense procurement and acquisition policies, act as counsel to the Secretary and Deputy Secretary of Defense and other Department of Defense executives. As such I appeared before Congressional Committees, wrote legislation in coordination with executive and legislative branch executives and successfully advocated before the U.S. Congress for the procurement of advanced weapons systems and for increased funding of "quality of life" programs for all branches of the U.S. military. Improving the quality of life for the men and women in uniform was one of my greatest satisfactions.
I traveled extensively with Members of Congress and private sector executives as an advisor on national security and defense procurement and acquisition policies and procedures.
Since leaving the Department of Defense and entering the private sector, I have represented clients in a variety of government relations, litigation and transactional matters.
In addition, I have represented the U.S. Air Force Association before Congress; major defense contractors in connection with procurement issues; and a coalition of American companies that successfully obtained a multi-million dollar contract to dismantle Russian chemical and biological weapons. I have also represented the Russian Federation in connection with various matters.
More recently, I started my own company to promote various private-sector business interests to the US government.
