Michael Endicott was a Secret Service Agent for twenty years, from 1965 to 1985. During Endicott’s tenure, he was assigned to the details of then-Governor Ronald Reagan (and foiled an attempt by the Black Panthers to fire bomb the Governor’s mansion in California), Vice Presidents Walter Mondale and Nelson Rockefeller, Secretary of State Henry Kissinger, and President and Mrs. Richard Nixon, whom he later worked for in private service until 1991. During this detail, he formed a close personal relationship with the Nixons.
As a Secret Service Agent, he has traveled with Presidents to over 100 countries and every state in the union, met world leaders, and sat in on high-level diplomatic meetings. He arranged President Nixon’s secret trip to Moscow in 1986 where he met with Gorbachev and a later trip to China on a clandestine diplomatic mission.
Endicott graduated from St. Martin’s College in Washington in 1965. He had applied for the Secret Service before graduation.
Although awards are rarely given in the Secret Service, Endicott was honored for “exceptional and outstanding service in the area of cost savings to the agency.” He was known as the go-to guy in the agency for logistical efficiency and saved the agency millions of dollars in expenses by prioritizing and streamlining operations and tapping into military support and the use of military aircraft to move cars and agents when appropriate, especially on overseas missions. He developed antiterrorism strategies for major US cities.
Endicott retired to his hometown near Tacoma, Washington.
