Washington, D.C. – FBI Director Robert S. Mueller,

A 22-year veteran of the FBI, Mr. Brink graduated from
the United States Naval Academy (USNA) in 1978 and served
in the United States Navy as a shipboard surface warfare
officer for three years. After a subsequent three-year
assignment as a military instructor at the USNA, Mr. Brink
resigned from active military duty in 1985 upon receiving
his special agent appointment to the FBI.
During his FBI career, Mr. Brink's field assignments have
included Tampa, Florida (the Orlando Resident Agency);
Honolulu, Hawaii (as supervisory special agent); and New

these assignments, Mr. Brink acquired extensive experience
in foreign counterintelligence and terrorism investigations,
a wide range of criminal investigations, international
operations, physical and electronic surveillance, information
technology, and the investigative application of special
technologies.
Mr. Brink and his wife, Monika, are the parents of two
sons, Frederick and Matthew.
