Virgil grew up in northwest Missouri but graduated from the University of Kansas in 1966 with a BA degree in Political Science. He was then commissioned a 2nd lieutenant in the US Marine Corps, serving for the next four years as a Marine Infantry Officer, including 13 months in 1967-1968 in Vietnam with the 2nd Battalion, 9th Marine Regiment (2/9).
Virgil resigned his Marine commission in 1970 to begin his career as an FBI Special Agent. Over the next 27 years, he was assigned at various times to the Detroit, San Francisco, New York City, Richmond, and Knoxville Field Offices. He also served two tours at FBIHQ in Washington, DC. When he retired from the FBI in January 1998, he was serving as the Special Agent in Charge of the Knoxville Field Division. During his FBI career, Virgil graduated from the Defense Language Institute, Monterey, CA; the Federal Executive Institute, Charlottesville, VA; and the FBI’s Executive Development Institute. He also earned a Master's Degree from Long Island University, Greenvale, NY.
After retiring from the FBI, Virgil established his own security consulting business which has taken him all over the US as well as to Japan and Brazil. Virgil also became a contract assessor for the Commission on Accreditation for Law Enforcement Agencies, Inc. (CALEA) in 1998 and was shortly thereafter approved as a team leader. He has since led teams of assessors conducting assessments on more than 40 law enforcement agencies at the local, state and federal levels, including some of the largest law enforcement agencies in the US, as well as law enforcement agencies in Canada, Barbados, and Mexico.
Virgil is active in numerous community and veterans’ organizations and has held leadership positions in most of those organizations.
Virgil and his wife have two grown children and three grandchildren.
