Rick is a personal friend of mine who has served our country in the Special Operation community of the United States Army for 29 years. He has exemplified all of the successful components of being a Tier 1 Athlete. He served and finished his career honorably, has stayed in impeccable physical condition, maintained his faith in his creator and has been able to live successfully well into retirement with the woman who sent him downrange. Rick has transitioned into entrepreneurial enterprise, starting @warhoggtactical, a successful personal defense instruction company, and @ontherange podcast with @kelleydefense. Come sit with us after we spent a few days blasting holes in paper refining our ass kicking and life saving skills. Hear what we have to say and how it applies to your personal life. Stand by to get some.

In this podcast we explore the interesting career of being a Bomb/Arson technician in a large municipal environment. What does this career entail. The mental and physical makeup of being a bomb technician.  How having a family affects the career, and how the career affects the family. 

In this podcast I have an opportunity to discuss current events with Captain Ralph Haynes. Ralph has been retired from the San Diego Fire Department for 10 years. Prior to that he taught in almost every fire academy for San Diego Fire Department for the previous 10 plus years. He has a unique perspective on our country and the possible solutions to our current events.
