About

Tours in:

The United States

Michael Ring is a writer, educator, and longtime federal civil servant with a passion for storytelling, architecture, and American bureaucracy. A Floridian by birth and a Washingtonian by conviction, he moved to D.C. area in the early 2000s to help strengthen the nation’s cybersecurity posture and never stopped exploring the city’s federal heart. His last job before retiring was a staff detailee at the White House National Security Council as a Cyber Policy Director for East Asia.

Using his experience as a tour guide for Walt Disney and an instructor for the federal government, he is moving into the audio tour space to make every listener have a memorable experience. His walking tours are part history lesson, part policy deep-dive, and part sarcastic love letter to the quiet machinery of government. When he’s not uncovering overlooked federal buildings, he’s probably hunting down tacos or going for a walk listening to an audiobook.
