Joe Navarro

Foremost authority on non-verbal tells

For twenty-five years, Joe Navarro, M.A., worked with the FBI, both as an agent and supervisor in the area of counterintelligence and counterterrorism handling complex multinational investigations. He is presently an adjunct faculty member at the FBI's Counterintelligence Division where he teaches behavioral analysis and nonverbal communications. He consults for the Department of Energy, the State Department, and the Institute for Defense Analysis, a Washington, D.C. based think tank. Mr. Navarro has taught intelligence analysis and a variety of other topics to both the law enforcement and intelligence communities and lectured throughout the United States, South America and Europe.

In addition to his counterintelligence duties with the Bureau, Mr. Navarro was the senior criminal profiler in the Tampa Division and continues to serve as a consultant in the National Security Division's Behavioral Analysis Program. He has published widely within the intelligence community and the public sector. He is coauthor of the soon be published book, "Advanced Interviewing Techniques" with John Schafer and is currently working on a new book entitled, "Exploitable Weaknesses of Terrorist Organizations." He is on the adjunct faculty at the University of Tampa, Saint Leo's University, and the National College of District Attorneys.

Joe first realized that his skill set could be applicable to poker after filming a Discovery Channel special entitled “More Than Human” where he met Annie Duke in a test of  human lie detectors against machine lie detectors.

He then applied his craft at Camp Hellmuth, Phil’s poker fantasy camp in August 2005, and by some accounts, stole the show with his presentation on Decoding Non Verbals at the Poker Table.

Navarro is now poised to reinvent the study of poker “tells” and create a
new generation of poker players to be feared.
