Rodney Faraon
Rodney Faraon is a producer and writer. In 2012 he became President of Aardwolf Creative, a film and television production company that creates authentic, inspirational, and entertaining content about the world of intelligence and international security.

His first project was the NBC television drama State of Affairs (2014).

Faraon served as an analyst at the Central Intelligence Agency from 1991-2005, writing his first memo for the President as an undergraduate college student and later rising quickly to the Agency's leadership ranks. From 1999 to 2001, he was on the President's Daily Briefing teams for Presidents Bill Clinton and George W. Bush. As briefer to and speechwriter for Director of Central Intelligence (DCI) George J. Tenet, he was awarded the Director's Medal, the DCI's highest personal decoration. After 9/11, he served in a CIA Station overseas, building a counterterrorism program and managing relationships with foreign intelligence services.

A native of Kansas City, KS Faraon graduated with honors from Georgetown University's Edmund A. Walsh School of Foreign Service.
