In this candid and deeply personal episode of The Barracks Life, former Navy SEAL and recent retiree shares his powerful journey from elite-level youth hockey player to one of America’s most demanding special forces roles. Through raw storytelling, he discusses the mental and physical rigors of SEAL training, the cost of combat, and the challenges of fatherhood, marriage, and faith — both during and after his military career.

The conversation dives into his struggles with toxic culture in the SEAL teams, navigating single fatherhood after a family crisis, and how a personal faith transformation helped him rebuild from the inside out. This episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in the full human cost — and healing — behind the uniform.
