Terry Ford was born September 1980 on an Air Force Base in North Carolina. His dad was a parachute rigger in the US Navy and shortly after Terry was born received orders to Puerto Rico where the Ford family lived for the next 3 years. After that Terry's father took orders to NAS Oceana in Virginia Beach, VA where they would remain for the next 27 years, a feat almost unheard of in the Navy. That fact made Terry one of those rare Navy brats that got to live in the same house for essentially his whole life growing up. The only moving around they did was from an apartment that they moved into when they relocated from Puerto Rico to Virginia Beach.
Terry didn’t quite know what he wanted to do with his life but ultimately decided to enlist in the Navy in March of 2003 as a Cryptologic Technician (Maintenance). He went to basic training in Great Lakes, IL followed by “A” school at Cory Station in Pensacola, FL. From there he received orders to Naval Security Group Detachment Potomac at the Naval Research Lab in Washington DC. That tour ended when the command was decommissioned in 2005. At that time, Terry chose to screen for an assignment to Naval Special Warfare Development Group (DEVGRU) and was subsequently selected.
After 4 ½ years of service with DEVGRU, Terry chose not to re-enlist and jumped over to the contracting world and he has worked in various roles in IT. He presently works as a contactor for Illuminate in a position for the Defense Intelligence Agency. Terry's family resides in Tampa, FL with his wife and twin daughters.
