Morrison grew up in Maryland. When he was 10, his father became the NASA representative to Europe, and was stationed in Paris. &#8220;Our family lived in Paris for three years during which I attended French school. We moved back to Maryland after that. I graduated from Colorado State University with a political science degree, and then later got a master&#8217;s degree in Justice, Law, and Society (Criminal Justice) from American University. When I started working for the Border Patrol, I was stationed in McAllen, Texas, for the first five years of my career.&#8221; He was then transferred to Northern Maine and Buffalo, New York.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-138b03b e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"138b03b\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f14ac86 exad-sticky-section-no exad-glass-effect-no elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"f14ac86\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e32fefa e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"e32fefa\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-30ed7c2 exad-sticky-section-no exad-glass-effect-no elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"30ed7c2\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figure class=\"wp-caption\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/sbpra.net\" target=\"_blank\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"160\" height=\"160\" src=\"https:\/\/sbpra.com\/andrewfmorrison\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/1510\/2025\/01\/sbpsvg-removebg-preview.png\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-10\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sbpra.com\/andrewfmorrison\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/1510\/2025\/01\/sbpsvg-removebg-preview.png 160w, https:\/\/sbpra.com\/andrewfmorrison\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/1510\/2025\/01\/sbpsvg-removebg-preview-150x150.png 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 160px) 100vw, 160px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figcaption class=\"widget-image-caption wp-caption-text\">Strategic Book Publishing<\/figcaption>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Author Andrew F.
