Back Story from Wikipedia:
Hurd worked for the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) for nine years from 2000 to 2009, stationed primarily in Washington, D.C., including a tour of duty as an operations officer in Afghanistan, Pakistan, and India.[9][8] He speaks Urdu,[10] the national language and lingua franca of Pakistan, where he worked undercover.[10] One of his roles at the CIA was briefing members of Congress, which is what made Hurd want to pursue politics.[11] He returned to Texas after his CIA service and worked as a partner with Crumpton Group LLC, a strategic advisory firm, and as a senior adviser with FusionX, a cybersecurity firm.[8]
