Congressmen re-unite. Former Congressman Thomas C. McMillen and Congressman Duncan still bump into each other in Washington DC, but Duncan welcomes McMillen to Knoxville. McMillen is Chairman and CEO of Homeland Security Capital Corporation (HSCC) which acquired Knoxville based Safety and Ecology Corporation (SEC) in March, 2008. Congressman Duncan tells SEC employees that they are lucky to have such a well respected former Congressman as part of the company leadership team.

HSCC CEO C. Thomas McMillen provides an unparalleled level of leadership and experience. As a three-term Representative from the 4th Congressional District of Maryland, Congressman McMillen had extensive expertise working within the government prior to his role with HSCC. Serving on the Banking, Finance, and Urban Affairs Committee; the Energy and Commerce Committee; and the Science, Space and Technology Committee, Congressman McMillen was also selected by President Clinton to co-chair the President’s Council on Physical Fitness and Sports from 1993 until 1997 due in part to his history as an Olympian and eleven-year career as an NBA player for the Buffalo Braves, New York Knicks, Atlanta Hawks and Washington Bullets. Congressman McMillen brings all of his extraordinary experience to bear in his role as HSCC CEO, continuing to keep Americans safe by managing the company’s portfolio businesses.
