This week in the studio my co host Chris VanSant and I have a conversation with a man who dedicated 27 years of service to the US Army, more than 21 of those in Special Operations, including 12 years with the Special Missions Units as a Tier 1 Operator. Our guest has spent time with units such as the 3rd Infantry, 101st Airborne, 5th Special Forces, 10th Special Forces, Special Operations Command as a congressional liaison, and even as an Army Congressional Fellow where he advised Senator Kay Bailey Hutchison from the Great State of Texas on military budgets, construction programs, and other military issues. He served in 11 combat rotations between Iraq and Afghanistan. He is the recipient of the Silver ☆ and 6 Bronze Stars. Our guest is not just a warrior though, he is also a renaissance man who holds a bachelors degree in Liberal Arts and a Masters Degree In Legislative Affairs. He is the founder Tier One Trapper and is still Instructing and Consulting as an Independent Contractor.I am so honored to introduce not only this weeks guest but my great co hosts former team member, Jesse Boettcher.
