D*I*C*E^™ BRIEFING

FEEDBACK & TESTIMONIALS

"Having Ray come and speak is sky rocketing my OPSEC programs awareness. I have already received many e-mail commending his performance. My workforce has been charged up after an outstanding performance. Thanks Ray I appreciated your passion."--US Navy manager

"WOW!  Ray Semko motivates, educates, captivates, and inspires. We get lost in the drudgery of everyday work, and Ray reminds of the big picture- this is a great country, worthy of fighting for. I can't wait for next year!"--BSNC attendee

"Ray's presentation was unique and inspiring. He has the ability to entertain while conveying a TON of information based on his years of experience.  Definitely a no-holds-barred look at the state of the world today. This was not my first, and hopefully not my last "Diceman" presentation!!"--Northrop Grumman attendee

"The D*I*C*E man is an effective, dynamic speaker!  The amount of information that he provides in his presentation is phenomenal, and the manner in which he presents it, makes it memorable.  He is entertaining, which keeps an attendee awake, and so energetic that it rubs off.  I enjoyed the presentation immensely!  Thank you, Ray!!"--GOVSEC 2008 attendee from US Department of Justice

"I've seen years of "DICE" and every briefing gets better and better. Every year he has more to offer. Every time I hear the message(s), I'm that much more motivated to work harder, smarter, for you, your children, and our enlisted men and women. Ray Semko is, and will always be, a major partner in my Industrial Security Program."--BBN Technologies attendee

"Ray Semko is a person who has dedicated his life to serving our country and that is reflected in his briefings. His hard-hitting briefings are quite inspirational. He is obviously well read and informed and does an excellent job in motivating others. I have been attending his presentations for years and no one can say they do not grab and hold your attention. If only there were more like him."--Parsons attendee

"Great briefing! Makes you laugh and at the same time drives home some very important information everyone should be aware of."--ITT Corporation attendee

"Ray, as always, is an inspiration (I can only wish that I could present a briefing half as good as his). He's always the highlight of the NCMS seminar, no matter how much time he's given. I could (and have) listen to him for hours."--Booz Allen Hamilton attendee

"I heard Ray's presentation during the NCMS Seminar 07 in Reno. This is the third NCMS Seminar I have been to and the second DICE man presentation I have heard. I think every man woman and child in this country above the age of 15 should here his presentation. It has a different delivery every time and rivets you to your seat. Sometimes the truth is hard to hear but it should be said and he does it with a passion of which is unparalleled. He is fantastic. Thank you for allowing me to hear him. I would like to attend just one where he is not pressed for time. He is such a huge source of information and knowledge."--Mercer Engineering Research Center attendee

"Ray is really something special.  He is so enthusiastic about what he is speaking about that you can’t help but be the same.  Ray is the type of speaker if you had the ability to hear him speak you should NEVER miss the opportunity.  He ended my seminar with a “BANG”--Pratt & Whitney Rocketdyne attendee

"It was the best presentation of the week.  His style at relaying the information and getting you to really think about what is going on in the world and how it affects each and every one of us was outstanding."--Chugach Management Services attendee

"I loved Ray's briefing. It is energetic, refreshing, and TRUE! Every time I hear him, it re affirms the job that I do, he is an inspiration to Security."--ATK Integrated Systems attendee

"It would not have been an NCMS conference without Ray. Besides the main briefing he gave, he was going one on one talking to people, answering questions and giving advice. He is a wealth of information that needs to be tapped! Without people like him we would still have our heads in a hole-like an ostrich!"--Northrop Grumman DMS Attendee

"I have heard Ray's presentation several times and truthfully, each time it is different enough, it is worth hearing. again  He keeps your attention because he is passionate about making everyone aware of what is going on in our country. We cannot sit back and take our freedom for granted! Thanks D*I*C*E Man!"--Armor Holdings attendee

"I've heard Ray Semko's presentations before and I can never get enough of him.  He has a new "nugget" every time he presents. Keep on rolling the "Dice"!"--CDI Marine Co. attendee

"Ray was great. I have attended his teachings before but still took away so much this time. He's refreshing and honest about what he sees/knows. Ray's teaching encourages me to confidently speak out about security and day to day risks."--ACR attendee

"He should be giving D*I*C*E briefings to wake up most of our elected politicians."--Science Applications International Corp. attendee

"The main reason I went to the IMPACT conference was to hear Ray again !  He is energizing and inspiring.  He makes you want to go back to your company and do more!  Security NEEDS Ray!"-- Progeny Systems Corporation attendee

"Ray is so motivational, inspiring and real.  Beside wishing that everyone in my organization could be present for one of his briefings,  I wish that every high schooler and every college age young adult could listen to one of his briefings.  I cannot think of another briefing that so moves people as what the Dice Man does. I definitely look forward to being able to attend another one of his briefings. Thanks for all that you do Ray!" --IIF Data Solutions, Inc. attendee

"I have attended several DICE briefings and marvel at Ray's ability to present the information as though it were brand new. Ray motivates, educates and causes one to think. He reminds us to become more mindful to the "business" at hand...security. After attending a briefing one wants to get up on a soap box and shout, WAKE UP PEOPLE, we can make a difference. And more importantly we MUST to protect the warfighters and our country."--Northrop Grumman attendee

"Ray Semko's briefing was outstanding!  He is not politically incorrect and he is not controversial all.  He has clued us in on how we need to wake up and take care of America, our Warfighters and our children.  I have never witnessed any of Ray's presentations before, and I have to say that he definitely made an "IMPACT".  It was a pleasure meeting Ray at the NSI Impact 2007 Conference.  God Bless!" --Avaya Inc. attendee

"Your entrance was amazing and your presentation even more so. This was my first time to see you in person and I truly enjoyed the whole package presentation. It was very motivating!" AJC, LSI, Inc. attendee

"He was great, as usual!!!  What more is there to say." --Clark Construction attendee

"I have been to three DICE briefings over the years and believe it is the single most powerful tool to get peoples attention of the reality of our situation."--US Army attendee

"You are the best motivator I have seen in my 30 plus years of Government time.  You pick people up and motivate them into doing the best that they can do.  I would drive 200 miles to listen to you speak."--Tybrin Corp. attendee

"I would like to say a huge thank you to Ray Semko for speaking at our annual security seminar, we have enjoyed his videos for years and seeing him in person was an honor. Mr. Semko is one the most motivational speakers I have ever witnessed, he is a true American."--NCMS attendee

"You are a gifted speaker, able to easily and immediately grab and sustain your audience’s attention, and to raise consciousness and awareness. Bravo. Your messages struck home. "--US Navy attendee

"He is such a dynamic speaker--entertaining, funny, thought-provoking and 'in your face'. The requirement for annual security briefings is something most people dread and only tolerate. His way of presenting the information and inspiring people to want to learn more about our current threats and think more about security and OPSEC is a real gift."--Security Specialist, US Army Special Operations Command

“Ray, this was EXCELLENT! I need to be re-motivated—you did it! This should be advertised to managers and CEO’s.”

"After seeing him, I knew as many [military] base people as possible needed to hear his message. I have become keenly aware of types of threats, protection measures, and the importance of educating our people in security issues. DICE Man stresses that Americans are targets for collection of information, in particular, new technologies. He drives home that the threat is real and that each person can make a difference in protecting our American way of life."--Hill AFB OPSEC Manager

“Excellent! I am excited about security and so is Ray. Wish I could follow him around to learn and absorb his knowledge. Can’t wait till the next briefing!”

"It's always a pleasure hearing and seeing you speak. If all "security educators" were so energetic!!"--US Air Force attendee

"I had a security and espionage briefing today by Ray Semko...the guy is a real character and he is one of the most knowledgeable funny speakers around. He is an ex-intelligence agent and knows what he is talking about."--Blogger

“Ray Semko’s briefings, and Ray, are fabulous, inspiring, and vital to our country. Keep up the good work!”

"I always enjoy the DICE briefing and listening to Ray. He is so motivational and energizing that you want to go back to your company and make your employees feel as strongly about protecting our nation's security and the warfighter as he does.  I would love to have him speak to our employees and share his passion, I know it would make a difference."--Northrop Grumman IT, Chantilly, VA

"Ray's briefing reassured me that we, as security professionals, must always do whatever we can to make our world a better place and to keep everyone safe.  He inspires many with his energy, his honesty and his love for our country.  I can't wait to see what he has to offer in the future!  Thank you!"--Chenega Federal Systems LLC attendee

"We recently had Ray Semko come to Ft Monmouth to give his DICE briefing and it was a huge success. Well worth the money. Ray presented seven briefings in a four day period and each one was not only captivating and motivational but extremely educational for our workforce. Approximately 2500 people attended the DICE presentations. The audiences included individuals from government and industry as well as security professional groups. I randomly surveyed numerous DICE briefing attendees and received excellent feedback from all. On a personal note, I have been a security professional with the government for 25+ years and have attended many DICE briefings over the years. I never tire of listening to and learning from Ray. He is an inspiration to my profession."--Security Office, USA CECOM, Ft Monmouth, NJ

"The DICE Briefing this year was "AWESOME". I always expect to get information from Ray Semko that makes you think about your security program not only at work but at home as well. His briefings always make you go back and take a second look at how you are contributing to the protection of our nations secrets. He did not disappoint and his entrance into the briefing was priceless."--Raytheon Corporation attendee

"Ray was dynamic and informative... What an incredible briefing!!!"--Lockheed Martin Aero-Fort Worth attendee

"Simply put: An excellent Security Awareness Briefing. Action packed, attention grabber and motivational speaker. This is about the 10th time I seen The Dice Man. It is amazing how my mind is on overdrive with the information that he provides. Wow did that happen, and what can we do to make a difference. Value insight from the past, present, and into the future. GOD Bless."--The Aerospace Corporation, attendee

"Outstanding speaker!!! Very motivating, inspiring, energizing, informational, and entertaining!"--The Boeing Company attendee

"I've heard "The Diceman" speak numerous times in my 15+ years in security, and he never ceases to deliver! I always come away with a renewed attitude and desire to succeed in the ongoing war with counterintelligence efforts. He makes me proud to be an American yet scares me as to the future of our way of life. His message should be a requirement at all high schools and colleges. Our next generation doesn't have a clue what a challenge it will be for them to maintain the "American Lifestyle" to which they are accustomed. Great Job...Many Thanks to you Ray.... Totally Inspiring!"--Computer Sciences Corporation attendee

"I've seen Ray perform several times. Ray's presentation at the NCMS Seminar was simply "Fantastic". I really enjoy how he ties his threat messages to "real life" situations/cases to remind his audience that the 'threat" is very real part of our lives and industry. His bottom line massage " it has and  will happen again" is something I always leave with."--Northrop Grumman Corporation (IS)- CA attendee

"Ray’s briefing at the 2007 NCMS-Reno Seminar was truly as its title: “UNLEASHED”!" Every briefing that I have attended where Ray the DICEMAN speaks is more enlightening than the last (too many years to count). I have never gotten tired of listen to Ray; I keep going back for more!  He is most knowledgeable of current events; simply put, he is the best!"--Verizon-Federal Network Systems attendee

"BRAVO ! ! ! Ray Semko is truly an American Hero. Now that Ray can speak freely without the fear of official reprimand or reprisal he is even more entertaining, informative, and effective. "Diceman Unleashed" should be a mandatory briefing for every government employee and elected official and highly recommended for all contractors."--Sierra Nevada Corporation attendee

"Ray Semko a.k.a. “Diceman” presentation was outstanding!! He is such a gifted orator that he makes the extreme demands of security awareness seem effortless!!"  --PRA, Inc. attendee

"Simply amazing. Ray re-energizes  and inspires me every time I talk to him.  If you never had a D*I*C*E brief, you need to see him “UNLEASHED”!" -- Electronic Data Systems (EDS) attendee

"Terrific, as always! Ray's briefings get to the point, touch the heart and leave a very lasting impression. If only we could all provide briefings like him!"--Chugach Alaska Corp.attendee

"This was my first time to hear Ray speak in person.  I had seen his CD's and tapes and was impressed.  I came back to work all motivated and determined to do better and make those around me more aware.  The passion Ray has just can not be expressed by any one other than him.  I would love to have him speak to people here and express the passion."--Motorola attendee

The next day I did in fact recall a great deal of information that you had brought to my awareness, or "awoken" in me. I must say that three days later, I am more observant and aware than I have ever been."--US Navy attendee

His passion for national security has made him a well respected inspirational and motivational speaker. Thank you for another great year."--Shearer & Associates attendee at the 9th Annual NCMS Seminar

"Ray's brief was like nothing I had ever experienced. He is passionate about his country and what he does. He delivers his message in a way that bores itself into you so you simply will not or cannot forget his message--that there are bad people who want to hurt us and will resort to any means possible to accomplish their goal."--Chief of Training and Readiness for US Army Special Operations Command

"Ray is a true patriot and first rate motivational speaker. He always wakes us up and re-energizes us to do our best to protect America's competitive edge."--Northrop Grumman attendee

"This was my second year to attend the NCMS conference and my second opportunity to meet and hear Ray. A friend of mine told me last year that I would enjoy listening to Ray's presentation. I would like to say that I was riveted to my seat but Ray doesn't permit that with his presentation. His presentation is so energetic that there was no way that I could sit still while listening to him. I loved hearing Ray again this year. I look forward to his presentations and I am looking forward to hearing him again next year at the conference and any and all subsequent years. Ray is a tremendous asset to this nation and all of us in the security world. I'm glad that he's on our side!"--CAE USA attendee

"Ray's talents have risen to another level.  I've seen Ray on a number of occasions and it's good to see his message hits the issues head on as usual. Great presentation."--Booz Allen Hamilton attendee

"I can not express my gratitude to Mr. Semko for being honest enough to REALLY tell it like it is in a world today that is so scared of being "offensive".  The time to play nice is over and has been for a long time.  His presentation is informative and interesting and makes you sit up and really take notice.  He is a great addition to the CI Centre and I have already talked to our FSO about bringing him back on an annual basis.  His presentation is a MUST ATTEND for anyone who works in the security industry, from admins like me who deal with all the employees, janitorial staff and visitors on a daily basis to the CEO's who deal with the higher level information."--Overwatch Textron Systems attendee

"I was thrilled to hear Ray's presentation at the NCMS in Reno last week. Just when you've thought you've heard "it all" from Ray, he pulls you back and gives you new information. He was at his best and I'm grateful he's on our side because the bad guys don't stand a chance."--The Louis Berger Group, Inc. attendee

"Ray Semko's dynamic "DICE" presentation is the best training I've experienced in 26 years with the government. His passion for the national security is inspirational...a true patriot!"--US Naval Surface Warfare Center attendee

"I always enjoy and moved by his presentations. I just wished they would have given him more time to speak. I definitely come away wanting to make a difference in our nation's security. I was attending the FSO training and was very upset when I thought I was going to miss his presentation. I have attended the NCMS conference twice now and hope I get to go back so I can see him again."--The MITRE Corporation attendee

"This was my second time watching the “Dice-Man” in action and I can honestly say that his presentations get better and better. Ray keeps the audience in tune and he makes you think in “real-time” as he’s presenting his great information. I will definitely make sure to attend Ray’s session whenever I can."--ITT  Corporation attendee

"Ray is an outstanding speaker with an excellent message delivered in a unique style! Having seen his message for the last ten years - I can't wait to see him again. It is always frustrating when Ray is asked to speak in a limited time slot. He really is his own show and difficult to wedge into an agenda. I thought he did an incredible job in the 90 minutes he was allotted, but having seen him many times, I know some of the material he "left on the table" was some of the most important parts of his briefing! I wanted him to go on, the hook of the agenda prevented it. All that said - Ray Semko is a national Hero in more ways than one and I applaud the CI Centre for making this asset to National Security available."--Raytheon Company attendee

"What a breath of fresh air...hearing the truth spoken so matter of factly was eye opening and refreshing. The DICE Man cuts through the political correctness and gets to the heart of the issues. He is truly an inspirational and motivating speaker."--Vmware attendee

"Ray did a fantastic presentation as usual at the NCMS Seminar. I was fortunate enough to speak with him before he went on. What a great guy!!! I have seen him once before at JPL in Maryland and have one of his videos. He's presentations are new, refreshing and entertaining every time I have seen them. Ray keep up the good work, you are a real patriot."--DRS C3 Systems, LLC attendee

"I have seen a number of presentations by Ray over the years but his recent presentation at the NCMS annual conference to coin a baseball phrase hit the ball out of the ball park. Ray's ability to present the threat in his DICE briefings has for years provided security professionals with ammunition to effectively do their jobs for the war fighter and protect national security. Thank you Ray and Welcome Home!!!"--Cytec Engineered Materials Inc. attendee

"The DICE Man once again proved his value to our industry! Not only a security advocate but a true Red White and Blue American!  He shoots from the hip, tells it like it is. We need more like him!"--Sierra Nevada Corporation attendee

"Ray Semko's presentations are so informative and so important to America.  Someone needs to wake us up and Ray is the one. We always need a shot in the arm in security to motivate us once again, and Ray is that shot." -- Saab Barracuda LLC attendee

"The point of Ray Semko's DICE brief is to get your attention - and he does.  He is able to instill in each of us a sense of responsibility to the security of our nation, what we all can do to keep it safer, and the need to share the message with others. His inventive entertainment provides an interest in his topic and the content is current and eye opening. I am proud to say that I have been to several of Ray's DICE presentations and always look forward to the next one. "--Jan Buttler, FSO, Jorge Scientific Corporation, IMPACT 07 attendee

"Excellent!  Every time I see one of his presentation I get more energized."--ARINC Engineering Services LLC attendee

"The D*I*C*E Man is AWESOME!!  Really enjoyed his enthusiasm and candor at the NCMS seminar."--Davidson Technologies, Inc. attendee

A first-rate speaker. After about 10 minutes, the audience realized this was no ordinary boring mandatory government meeting. Mr. Semko was extremely informative (even deadly serious, which of course was the purpose of the brief), effusive, self-deprecating, and hilarious. Afterward I realized I had only looked at my watch once and I was amazed at how quickly the time had passed. I wish I had looked around to see if anyone was nodding off (which I sincerely doubt) but I was too personally engrossed in the brief to avert my eyes from the speaker. Bravo Zulu to Ray Semko. His patriotism is contagious!" --US Navy Attendee

"I saw the D*I*C*E-man brief at a conference in San Diego a few years ago. His delivery using all-too-familiar scenarios and his prescriptions for a sound security program would make the airmen who feel that they are farthest from the fight sit up straight and pay attention. As I prepare for another inspection, I would like Ray to come and re-energize our airmen"--Air National Guard attendee

“Very motivational! Thanks for a fantastic presentation.” --NCIS attendee

"Ray was a counterintelligence agent for more than 30 years, so he brings to his speech his 'in the trenches' experience and knowledge of what we should protect and how to protect it. He explains who the players are, their targets, their methods and most importantly, how employees can protect the information they handle. With this I am more aware of the threats and can do a better job in protecting intelligence information. He is a very patriotic person and makes you glad to be an American. During his briefings, one moment you're laughing, then he transitions you to a serious thought, then you find yourself with tears in your eyes."--Hill Air Force Base Special Security Officer

“You made me mad enough to find the fortitude to endeavor to make a difference. Thank you.”

“Informative, humorous, entertaining! This is a very enlightening brief.”--RBC, Inc.

"Quite fast-paced, humorous and also serious message that industrial espionage is alive and well."--SANS97 conference attendee

"His unique style was both thought-provoking and stimulating."--CALSAGA conference newsletter
