Patrick Boylan, M.S. who is the founder of the Center for Strategic Analysis (CSA) started a Bachelors program in Homeland Security and served as chair of the Department for a University in Indiana, in 2005. He received his Masters in Crisis and Emergency Management from the Institute for Security Studies (UNLV) and a Masters in Educational Leadership from the University of Nevada Las Vegas, (UNLV), where he intends to go on and finish his Ph.D.

Mr. Boylan has had many discussions about religious terrorism and its role in everyday life with an array of people from US government officials elected and others to foreigners, some who were former Mujahaideen in the war against the Soviet Union in Afghanistan.
He feels strongly that the West has no idea who the real enemy is, and has adopted as his personal motto Sun Tzu's adage, "Know your enemy and know yourself; in a hundred battles, you will never be defeated. When you are ignorant of the enemy but know yourself, your chances of winning or losing are equal. If ignorant both of your enemy and of yourself, you are sure to be defeated in every battle"
His unique knowledge and understanding of the terrorist mindset makes him an asset in this so called “War on Terror". He is known for his thought provoking presentations on Terrorism at Nellis Air force Base in Nevada, UNLV, Regis University, The National Association of State Boards of Education (NASBE), Las Vegas College, the Association of Former Intelligence Officers (AFIO), The Intelligence Summit etc. His articles on terrorism and safety have been published at Frontpage.com, Jihadwatch.com and numerous other websites.
As an elected member of the State Board of Education he tried to bring about greater safety for our children but was thwarted by the ignorance and arrogance of others who think dialog with terrorists is the best way, even though they know what happened in Beslan, Russia and the various school/university killings that have plagued our nation in the last few years
