Andrew Freeburg

Who is Andrew Freeburg?

Andrew Freeburg grew up in Minnesota and also spent time in Florida, including Coconut Creek High School. After high school he enlisted in the U.S. Army as a Military Intelligence soldier (98K Non-Morse Signals Collection Analyst). He completed basic training, then Advanced Individual Training at Corry Station, Florida—a detachment of the Fort Huachuca Military Intelligence schools—and was assigned to Fort Meade, Maryland, home of NSA headquarters, around 2000.

​

After receiving a Top Secret clearance, he worked as a military assignee inside NSA, including time on START-treaty telemetry work and other assignments he describes in the book. He later pursued opportunities with Detachment Meade, Army CID under the Fort Meade CID office, and considered Special Forces and commissioning paths. After September 11, 2001, his duties shifted with everyone else’s. He later served in the Reserves as a Counterintelligence Agent and Russian interrogator.

​

In the years after active duty he built businesses, including car dealerships. When he began writing Secrets of the Eagle, he says the pressure on his life increased—tax fights, legal trouble, and other interference he attributes to the decision to write. The book is his account of what he saw and what followed. It is forthcoming and will go through required pre-publication review. It is not an official NSA or Defense Department publication.
