Having served as commanding officer at Camp David during the Clinton and George W. Bush presidencies, Rear Admiral Michael Giorgione brings listeners inside the gates. With a soft, dignified voice, he reveals why this storied presidential getaway is equally suited to hosting consequential summits and jovial first family gatherings. Although celebrated for solitude, Giorgione clarifies that Camp David’s indispensability resides in the relationships forged there.
