Rear Admiral Stephen Rochon is the White House Chief Usher. The Louisiana native is in charge of the domestic staff at the White House, and making sure everything runs like clockwork.

FYI:

He is the eighth person and the first Black person to hold this position.

He was appointed to this position in 2007 under President George W. Bush, after the previous usher retired from 20 years of service; and the Obama’s decided to retain him.
Admiral Rochon manages the day-to-day operations of the White House; with 132 rooms, $13million plus budget, and 90 plus staff.

He oversees the White House operations, maintenance and utilities, and works with the White House Social Security on ceremonial events for President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama. If the president needs him, he’s on it.
