Something About Me
Frederick Ferrer
I am serving here in the Treasure State as State Director. I am a military intelligence veteran, national security expert and educator with over four decades of knowledge and experience in the Intelligence Community (IC), National Defense, Homeland Security, Homeland Defense, Anti-Terrorism and Cybersecurity fields. After two full careers (in the U.S. Air Force and as a civilian), I retired to Montana to build a homestead for myself, my wife and family.
In addition to serving as the Montana Director for Restore Liberty, I am an online professor for several universities. Currently, I teach undergraduate intelligence studies for Liberty University’s Helms School of Government and graduate-level cybersecurity for the University of Maryland Global Campus. I have completed a PhD program of studies in American History (with minors in Russian and European History) and hold a Master of Science degree in Strategic Intelligence from the Department of Defense’s National Intelligence University.
Having held a Top Secret Special Compartmented Intelligence clearances for most of my adult life with agencies such as the NSA, CIA, DIA, DHS and FBI, I have a clear understanding of the nation’s intelligence apparatus. My experience ranges from initial work as a Russian Cryptologic linguist, collecting Soviet military communications; through working against terrorists and guerillas; and protecting the nation from Islamist extremism in an anti-terrorism role.
While it has been over 23 years since I retired from the U.S. Air Force, I continue to serve other veterans. In the American Legion, I serve as the Adjutant of Post 10 in Powell County; as the Historian for District 6; and as the Department Chairman, Public Relations and Publications Committee. I write a bimonthly column in the Silver State Post and am the Editor of the Montana Legionnaire—a quarterly publication for the state.
I am an inductee of the Chapel of the Four Chaplains Legion of Honor and have served as a church Elder and Deacon Overseer. I am currently serving as an Elder at a new Cowboy Church (Copper Cross) in Ramsay, Montana. I have been married for almost 38 years and have four grown children and eight grandchildren.
My political awareness came after I joined the Air Force and continued through my military career. Especially, during those opportunities I worked with the Executive and Legislative branches in Washington DC in the latter part of my career.
After retiring from the Air Force, I enrolled in the PhD program at Florida State the year before the 2000 Presidential election. I headed up the College Republican effort at the university and was there at ground zero for the election fight. I personally witnessed things like the Democrat Party’s effort to disenfranchise Florida’s military voters who were serving overseas; mainstream media’s manipulation and labor union interference.
I have served as an Election Judge and for the campaigns of conservatives in several states. I am currently involved with the Butte-Silver Bow Republican Central Committee in the effort to reinvigorate the efforts to elect true conservatives after a full year of dormancy.
My Vision for Montana
What I Believe
After Basic Training, I spent my first year in the Air Force learning the Russian language at the Presidio of Monterey’s Defense Language Institute. Quite a challenge for someone who had never taken a foreign language in high school! However, the fine folks at the MEPS administered a test that informed them I had a natural talent to learn languages. The attrition rate was high (something like 60 percent of the senior group at the school). Between that specter of failure and the continual reminder that our Cold War Soviet enemies were watching us, we were all mostly “nervous in the service!”
