John Elliott is a forty-four year veteran of Israel's Mossad and the CIA's Special Operations Group. For nine of those years he was assigned to Interpol in Lyon, France, as well as to a number of law enforcement agencies in the United States, and to the Royal Canadian Mounted Police in Ottawa, Canada. He holds a Bachelor of Science degree in business, an MBA, and a Doctorate of Law degree. Growing up in the Middle East, Europe and the United Kingdom, he is fluent in English, Gaelic, Hebrew and Hungarian, and can easily converse in both French and Italian.
As a trained investigator, his keen instincts have taken him to places such as Yugoslavia in order to recover 300 pounds of gold bars stolen by the late Serbian strongman Slobodan Milosevic. And it took him to the Vatican in order to uncover the church's incredibly vast treasure troves of stolen Jewish Old World art; their interwoven connections to the Mafia; their collusion with the Nazis during World War II; their hidden ranks of pedophiles, and so much more. Those same investigative instincts led him to a luncheon meeting with Sergei Khrushchev, the son of Nikita Khrushchev, a meeting that will inevitably result in history books being rewritten.
The author of twenty-seven published works, he is an active member of the International Association of Bomb Technicians and Investigators, and also a consultant to the Mines Advisory Group. A public and motivational speaker, he conducts crime avoidance and safety seminars nationwide, and is an advocate for America’s military veterans. He is an on-air contributor for the BBC in London, England, and in Belfast, Northern Ireland, as well as a commentator for Radio Zabok in Croatia. Segments of his extraordinary life have appeared on various television outlets, including the CBN’s 700 Club and the BBC’s Sunday Morning Live shows, as well as the Family Channel, and Hollywood is producing a full-length motion picture based on his upcoming autobiography entitled Zephyr - The Life of a Counter-Terrorist.
