With a robust background spanning two decades as a Navy SEAL across SEAL Team FIVE, SEAL Team EIGHT, and Special Boat Team TWENTY, my guest ventured through multiple combat theaters in the Pacific, Iraq, and Afghanistan. Graduating from the revered BUD/S training in August '97 (Class 212), my guest charted a path from an enlisted Mineman to a commissioned Navy SEAL Officer. His journey is peppered with milestones – from sniper training to guiding teams in combat deployments in Iraq and Afghanistan. Post-retirement, he navigated to the University of Southern California, steering veteran programs as the Director of Development and standing tall within the President's team as the Manager of Military and Veteran Services. My guest’s academic journey includes an outstanding thesis at Naval Postgraduate School and a Masters of Public Policy, culminating in his current role as a Corporate Security Analyst at Dominion Energy, based right here in Virginia Beach.
