Leon Tackitt served 27 years in the Navy. During his first 5 years, he was an anti-submarine warfare specialist, search and rescue crewman, radar and sonar operator in H2 Helicopters. He transitioned to Explosive Ordinance Disposal and completed his career, retiring as a Lieutenant in 2007. As a retirement career change, he and his wife, Cindy, started Tackitt Family Vineyards in Paso Robles, CA. Shortly thereafter, Leon joined the EOD Warrior Foundation as an ambassador and today he is a board member. Through his winery Leon also started EOD Cellars, producing wines with all proceeds donated to the EOD Warrior Foundation. Each year Leon also hosts the Warriors Helping Warriors event at the winery where guests can experience bottling wine, live music, and good food; again, with proceeds donated to the EOD Warrior Foundation. In 2021 they celebrated their 10th annual event.
