Ricky T. McGlothin is the Acting Director for the Small Business and Innovation (AL-SB), Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA), located on Fort Belvoir, Virginia.

His vast duties ranged from serving as a space operations enlisted member, field grade officer, a civilian contractor, and presently as a DoD civilian employee. Mr. McGlothin’s positions have taken him across the globe, from a Soviet missile warning site in Alaska, to later becoming Chief of Contracts at Izmir Air Station Turkey, and he spent six years with the Intelligence Community at the National Reconnaissance Office, and finally into his current position as the DTRA’s Acting Small Business Director.
