The Regular Show

John has a long history in the Army Reserves/Guard, Martial Arts, photography, and the Addison Police Department in Texas. John served in the Army Guard/Reserve from 1985 to 2007. He worked as a combat photographer for the 19th Special Forces Group before transitioning to PSYOPS with the 345th Tactile Psyop Company. During this period, John served in both Iraq and Afghanistan, earning the combat action badge and the Bronze Star. This encouraged him to document his combat experiences. He is the author of three books: The Faces of Afghanistan, By the Tigris, and Sixty@60. John has a 9th degree black belt in Kenpo Jutsu and a 6th degree black belt from Chuck Norris. During this period, John was awarded the Lifetime Achievement Award by the USA Martial Arts Hall of Fame. Overall, a bad ass, All American. 

What is a warrior? Do you have to serve in a combat MOS or have been in combat overseas? Warrior is more of a mindset than anything else, and anyone can develop it. I had the opportunity of interviewing Sal Heradia about his Muay Thai career and controversial championship fight. Take a look at his upbringing and how he intends to bounce back from a possibly rigged fight that cost him the title.

We finally got to the first episode of my new podcast. The first episode, I really wanted to show you the man behind the camera and the tiktok videos. I'm no longer an infantryman, an army guy with a mustache, or a cool specialist; I'm just a man. Just me talking into the camera, as I did on Tiktok. I hope you all enjoy! Stay tuned for more episodes including some incredible guests.
