As our cultural landscape changes, so do our leaders. Few know that better than Ken Valentine, of course; a retired Secret Service agent, Ken served under three Presidents - Clinton, Bush, and Barack Obama - as each wrestled with their own challenges of office, in their own time and in their own ways. For Ken, keeping up with the President wasn't just a challenge - it was a career, full of travel, intel, and unique situations that demanded not just his utmost attention, but his life and the lives of his fellow agents if necessary.

But 24 years at the Agency doesn't capture all of Ken's work - since his tenure, he's joined the Board of The National Center for Missing & Exploited Children, penned a memoir about his work called 'Cheating Death: Three-Time Presidential Secret Service Agent Lives To Tell You How,' and even spent time in the fields of science and technology, joining the Board of Advisors at a new breakthrough in the field of quantum physics called 'Base Molecular Resonance Technology.' But how does somebody get into the Secret Service? What qualifications does one need to attain the position of Presidential Protection Detail for not just one, but three different sitting Presidents? And most importantly - how exactly does somebody go about cheating death? Let's ask Ken.
