Welcome to Beyond the Barrel, where every episode takes you deeper into the lives of those who serve on the frontlines. Hosted by two dynamic leaders— Kenny, a nationally recognized K9 interdiction officer, and Attorney Mike, a U.S. Army veteran and seasoned Patrol Supervisor—this podcast is where stories of bravery, sacrifice, and humanity unfold.

Kenny isn’t just another officer; he’s the driving force behind his department’s first interdiction team. His relentless dedication to the mission and his natural ability to mentor others have earned him countless awards and a reputation that stretches across the nation. His work is about more than just enforcing the law—it’s about building safer communities and inspiring the next generation of officers.

Michael is a force of his own. An Army veteran who served in Operation Enduring Freedom and Operation Iraqi Freedom, he brings the discipline and strategic thinking of a soldier to his role as a Patrol Supervisor. But he’s also a sharp legal mind, holding a Juris Doctor from Valparaiso University School of Law. Admitted to practice in Indiana and the U.S. District Court, Mike is the go-to guy for officers seeking the legal edge, believing that understanding case law is crucial to being an effective cop.

Beyond the Barrel isn’t just about what happens on duty—it’s about what happens when the uniform comes off. Kenny and Mike sit down with first responders and military personnel to dive into the real stories behind their service, exploring the personal challenges and triumphs that have shaped their lives. But they don’t stop there—they reveal the human side, the passions and interests that make these heroes just like you and me.
