Mr. Munoz’s most notable achievement is his appointment to represent the National Air and Space Intelligence Center’s Committee on Foreign Investment, personally selected by a commander from a pool of 5,000 candidates. He manages a dedicated team to ensure the committee’s objectives are met. Additionally, at General Electric Aircraft Engines, he contributed to designing engines for military aircraft. During his nearly two-decade career in the U.S. Air Force, including deployments to Afghanistan, Russia, and Colombia, he participated in critical missions, such as securing the release of prisoners of war and overseeing the weapons of mass destruction team in 2004. In light of his impressive undertakings, he was recognized by a university for his mentorship in 2010 and was named a hometown hero by the Cincinnati Reds Major League Baseball in 2018, Hispanic Officer of the Year for the State of Ohio in 2015, and was recognized by the director of National Intelligence in 2010.
