Roland Angle graduated from the University of California, Berkeley with a Bachelor of Science in civil engineering, served in the U.S. Army Special Forces, where he was trained in the use of explosives, and became a licensed civil engineer in California. His fifty years of engineering experience has included designing and testing blast-hardened missile launch facilities and designing U.S. Naval explosive containers, harbor terminal facilities, earth foundation systems, and hydraulic systems.
In addition, Angle has owned three construction companies and has taught engineering subjects to high school students. He was skeptical of the official explanation for the failure of the World Trade Center towers but did not investigate in depth until he heard a presentation on the radio by AE911Truth founder Richard Gage several years after the attack. After doing further research, he signed the AE911Truth petition and began to devote long hours to uncovering the truth about the events of 9/11.
In 2016, Angle was invited to join the board. He became its chairman and the non-profit's chief executive officer in October 2021.
