Peter J. Lapp

Pete retired as a special agent for the FBI after twenty-two years either investigating or managing counterintelligence investigations involving Cuba, Russia, and China. Before joining the FBI, he worked as a police officer in the Coatesville and West Whiteland police departments in Pennsylvania. He earned his bachelor’s in criminal justice at West Chester University and his master’s in criminal justice at St. Joseph’s University. He served several years in the Army National Guard as an infantry officer. After retiring from the FBI, he founded an independent consulting firm and conducts keynote speaking to help organizations mature their insider-risk programs. Lapp now lives in Loudoun County, Virginia, and performs on the winery circuit as a singer and guitarist. His daughters say he’s not internationally well known; he’s only “county famous.”
