Ray Semko, aka The D*I*C*E Man, is a security educator and a professional public speaker who is nationally known for his popular and motivating D*I*C*E (Defensive Information to Counter Everything) security awareness briefings which he has been providing to American audiences since 1989.
Semko has over 40 years of valuable security and counterintelligence experience through his years of government service in the US military and Intelligence Community, primarily as a Counterintelligence Special Agent.
While serving in the US government, Ray Semko’s highly informative and entertaining D*I*C*E briefings that he created became very popular and were in demand throughout the US government and government contractors. He has has presented D*I*C*E all around the world – often to standing room only audiences. Semko’s briefing is the only security briefing people still remember after many years.
Since retiring from government service in July 2006, he has devoted to being a full-time professional public speaker providing his signature D*I*C*E briefings. Semko’s rapid-fire, no-nonsense approach focuses on the message: Americans need to be constantly vigilant and responsible for their own protection.
He exposes America’s adversaries, their targets and methods of operation and reveals how to prevent these adversaries from exploiting our nation’s security and your organization’s security by effectively protecting classified, proprietary and sensitive information.
He motivates his audience to rededicate themselves to their families and jobs, to live with honor and integrity and to do the right thing when no one is looking.
Semko’s goal is to keep you safe, your family safe and your organization safe. When these are safe, secure and strong, then America is also.
As an interesting side note, while serving an overseas tour with the US Army in Vicenza, Italy from 1976 to 1984, Semko became the first head coach of the Italian National Team of American-style football players.
He taught them the rules, proper techniques, self-discipline and served as the motivator to get the best out of them.
This led his Italian national team winning the 1983 European Championship. He also coached his own team, the Milan Rhinos, to three Super Bowl Championship in their American Football Italia (AIFA) league.
Semko told his team before every championship game, “If you win this game, for the rest of your lives you will always be a champion.”
His skills in motivating people to be the best continue to this day.
