This week I had the opportunity to interview a friend and Safariland Save member Shane. He tells us how he got into Law Enforcement and how he became of member of the Safariland Saves club (it's kind of exclusive). Shane lets us in to a world few get to see and hear about. He describes the thoughts, feelings, and emotions of being on a barricade for over 24 hours. Kick back and listen as he recounts the moments from dropping his children off with the babysitter to sitting behind a bunker.

This week I get to interview the Vice President for American Hero Hunt. Randy is a professional fisherman, habitat manager, and a home improvement specialist. A true man of many hats. Randy has dedicated his life to giving back to those that serve. Join me in learning about a great man and a true servant.

Episode 10! We've hit our first milestone! So this week I get the distinct honor of interviewing the President! The President of American Hero Hunt that is. I sit down with president and founder of American Hero Hunt, Justin Jones. We go through his story of hunting as a kid all the way to the hopes and dreams of American Hero Hunt as an organization. Sit back and relax, this one is good!

This week I'm joined by my friend Hunter. He tells us how he went from attending a bible college and teaching at women's prison and college classes, to becoming a big city police officer. Enjoy his story! Hunter has moved around to different states and his life experiences have helped to shape him into the man, husband, father, and police officer he is today. It is always great talking to someone who has such a passion for the job!

We switch things up a little bit this week with a combined podcast with American Hero Hunt. During the January board meeting I was honored to appointed to a board seat within the organization. Over the weekend of January 18-19, 2025 I was able to head to Uhrichsville, OH to Bullseye Pheasant and Duck Hunting to help two heroes get away for a Pheasant Hunt. While American Hero Hunt recorded their podcast, I fired up my equipment and we made a dual podcast. You can catch their episode on the American Hero Hunt podcast channel on Spotify! We discuss everything from applying for a hunt to driving a Subaru. Buckle up buttercup, this one was fun.

I got the amazing opportunity to sit down with U.S. Army Vet, Gabe. We talk about how he joined the Army one week before the US was changed forever. He tells me the story of how he didn't get a purple heart because the brass doesn't like to admit fault. From diving in trenches in Afghanistan to getting part of his hip moved to his toes, this is a good one!

I am joined by veteran, ranger trained, and current firefighter Uriah! He recounts his time in the military from a leadership perspective, what it was like transitioning to a fire department, and some of his fondest memories of Ranger School. I learned a lot from Uriah. Enjoy!

In a follow-up to Episode #2, I got the amazing chance to have a chat with Tony, Anthony's father. Tony is an Air Force Veteran, a Pastor, a friend, and a mentor. Join me this week as we get a different perspective, a Father's perspective. Tony walks us through the ups and downs of being a military member's parent.
