He worked under the national drug czar before becoming the drug czar of Florida in 1999. A graduate of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and the United States Military Academy, McDonough concluded his extensive Army career with assignments in Africa and the Balkans. He was awarded three Bronze Stars, the Purple Heart and the Distinguished Service Medal, among others. He also served as an associate professor of political science and international affairs at the U.S. Military Academy, as an analyst with the Defense Nuclear Agency, and with the State Dept.
