Since then he spent 20 years in the Special Operations community beginning in 1st Ranger Battalion and culminating as the Medical Squadron Sergeant Major at USASOC. Over that time he had the privilege to serve in 14 combat deployments across multiple theaters.

His goal is to help our service members and veterans get more out of life by getting more out of their bodies.
