Ryan Mauro

Ryan Mauro founded WorldThreats.com in 2003 to promote his analysis and news items that he felt needed more exposure. Mauro is an adviser on radical Islam for the Christian Action Network, the national security analyst for Family Security Matters, and a strategic analyst with Wikistrat. He is also a consultant to government agencies and is an adjunct professor. He frequently appears on FOX News Channel and talk radio. His analysis and research has been widely published and is featured throughout the week at FrontPage Magazine. His work often appears in PJ Media and has been in the peer-reviewed journal, Middle East Quarterly. He has been quoted and cited in multiple books and newspapers, including the New York Times and Reuters. He has made over 300 appearances on radio and T.V. shows of both the left and the right.

Mauro was originally hired in 2002 at age 16 to be a geopolitical analyst for Tactical Defense Concepts, a maritime-related security group, believed to be the youngest hired geopolitical analyst at that time. Mauro’s reports were often forwarded to members of the law enforcement and intelligence communities with great response. In 2005, Mauro published his first book, Death to America: The Unreported Battle of Iraq, which he wrote between the ages of 16 and 18. It focused on the Saddam Hussein regime’s involvement in terrorism and WMD programs, corruption at the U.N. and how Iran and Syria were engineering the insurgency.

In 2006 and 2007, he was selected to speak at the Intelligence Summit, billed as the most prestigious conference of its kind. He often is a guest speaker now for houses of worship, colleges, political clubs, rallies and other events. Mauro has also acted as a volunteer researcher for the Reform Party of Syria and was an intelligence analyst and director for the Asymmetric Warfare and Intelligence Center. In 2009, he was awarded a scholarship to go to Israel for three weeks by Eagles Wings’ Israel Experience program. In 2010, he returned to Israel after winning a two-week trip there from Stand With Us’ Once in a Lifetime contest. Mauro has a Bachelor’s in Intelligence Studies and a Master’s in Political Science from American Military University.
