Gray Wolf’s Leadership Team

Sammy Johns, Jr. – Chief Executive Officer

Over the past few years, a number of professionals have asked, “Sammy, when are you going to open your own business?” The need has never been greater for a security company to have a strong moral compass guided by integrity and commitment. With over 40 years of combined Law Enforcement, Executive Protection, and Investigative experience, Sammy Johns, Jr. continues to be one of the most respected professionals in private security.

In addition to his field experience, Sammy is certified by John E. Reid and Associates in the Reid Technique of Interviewing and Interrogation. Also, Sammy taught Executive Protection, Private Investigations, and Armed Security. Many of his students have earned very successful careers as Personal Protection Specialists (PPSs), Investigators, and Federal employees.

Why “Gray Wolf ?"

Pat
Director of Executive Protection (EP) and Investigations

Pat began his career in public service and security 30 years ago; he began in the U.S. Navy and then became a valuable member of the Washington, D.C. Fire Department and Search/Rescue Team, where he received the prestigious Commendation for Valor. Pat’s time as a Fireman provided a strong foundation on which to pursue his career as an Executive Protection Specialist for our government.

Pat’s responsibilities have included protecting the Secretary of State, Mr. Colin L. Powell, other prominent government officials, and foreign dignitaries. As a Supervisor with an SCI clearance, Pat has received a number of Special Commendations for his service and performance at the United Nations Assembly and the U.S. Capitol Building.

Mary
Director, Investigative Administrator

After college, Mary worked for several years at a lobbying organization, coordinating events with U.S. congressmen and senators, and providing additional support to the Office of Public Liaison for the White House. A few years after the birth of her first child, Mary went back to work as a contracted technical editor for the Navy and eventually worked her way up to managing the industrial security for the Navy’s Tactical Technologies Development Laboratory. Later she was recruited to manage the Quality Assurance Department for a contracting facility and handle security-related documentation for the Navy’s Strategic Systems Programs. In addition to her corporate security background, Mary completed training as a private investigator in 1995.

Given the volatile emotions involved with domestic cases or workplace grievances, Mary understands that when a client is compelled to call on an investigator for help, the client is involved in a painful experience. Mary will always ensure that Gray Wolf’s clients are well taken care of by compassionate, resourceful, and experienced investigators.
