Greg draws on his more than 25 years of experience directing national security investigations and global trade compliance enforcement to provide strategic enforcement guidance and investigative support to clients. Prior to joining Akin, Greg served as the Special Agent in Charge (SAC) of the Bureau of Industry and Security’s (BIS) Office of Export Enforcement (OEE) in Los Angeles, where he led complex and high‑profile administrative and criminal investigations into violations of the Export Administration Regulations (EAR), the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR), and U.S. sanctions programs. In this capacity, Greg coordinated enforcement actions with the Department of Justice, intelligence community partners, and foreign counterparts, giving him a deep operational understanding of how U.S. enforcement agencies identify, evaluate, and pursue potential violations.

Before his role as SAC, Greg held a range of national security positions within the Departments of Commerce and Justice, including Assistant Special Agent in Charge and Special Agent at OEE, Senior Intelligence Advisor at the DOJ National Security Division (NSD), and Intelligence Program Manager at the Executive Office for U.S. Attorneys, where he oversaw intelligence support for all 93 U.S. Attorneys’ Offices nationwide. He previously served as a Counterintelligence Agent and HUMINT Collector in the U.S. Army, where he first learned the investigative, interview, and sourcing techniques that inform his approach to complex international investigations today. His extensive background across government equips him to help clients anticipate risk, understand investigative posture, and navigate sensitive national security and enforcement matters.
