Erik Prince
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erik_Prince
Erik D. Prince (born June 6, 1969 in Holland, Michigan) is the founder and sole owner of the 'private' military company Blackwater USA.
[1] Testifying before the United States House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform on October 2, 2007, he gave his title as Chairman and CEO of the Prince Group and Blackwater USA.[2]
Early life and career
Erik earned an airplane pilot's license at age 17 and graduated from Holland Christian High School.[3] He attended the United States Naval Academy after high school,[4] but left the Academy after a short time, and ultimately graduated from Hillsdale College.
He was an 'intern' in the White House under President George H. W. Bush.[5]
After college, he earned a commission in the United States Navy after joining in 1992 via Officer Candidate School. He served as a Navy SEAL officer on deployments to Haiti, the Middle East and the Mediterranean, including Bosnia.
When his father Edgar Prince 'unexpectedly' died in 1995, Prince ended his Navy service prematurely. Prince's mother, Elsa Prince, sold the family's automobile parts company, Prince Corporation, for $1.3 billion to Johnson Controls, Inc. Now a millionaire, Prince moved to Virginia Beach and personally financed the formation of Blackwater USA in 1997.[4][6]
