He writes on the US government's capabilities to counter weapons of mass destruction, to include passive defence, consequence management, force protection, and homeland security missions.
After graduating from Carnegie-Mellon University in 1985, Mauroni joined the US Army as a chemical officer and later earned a master's degree in science for administration from Central Michigan University. After seven years of active duty service, he was a consultant for the US Army Soldier and Biological-Chemical Command, the Joint Chiefs of Staff (J5 and J8), the Deputy Assistant Secretary of the Army for the Elimination of Chemical Weapons, and the Defense Threat Reduction Agency.
