From his days as an NFL offensive lineman to his years in the CIA, Howard Richards has built a career out of providing security. A first-round draft pick out of Missouri in 1981, Richards played six seasons for the Dallas Cowboys, charged with protecting quarterback Danny White and running back Tony Dorsett.
With the CIA, Richards worked clandestine assignments all over the globe and served on the security detail for four CIA directors. For more than two years, Richards was stationed in Israel and managed the security facilities for the U.S. embassy in Tel Aviv.
His latest assignment is completely different but connects to his former life overseas.
