Bi-Weekly show where I’ll dive into stories about American Heroes. Some well known and some you’ve never heard of. I’m no historian or big time researcher, that’s why this will be about their story. There may be errors, but that’s what this is about, learning, growing, and enjoying our heritage.

    Ep. 12 Safariland Save #1933

    This week I had the opportunity to interview a friend and Safariland Save member Shane. He tells us how he got into Law Enforcement and how he became of member of the Safariland Saves club (it's kind of exclusive). Shane lets us in to a world few get to see and hear about. He describes the thoughts, feelings, and emotions of being on a barricade for over 24 hours. Kick back and listen as he recounts the moments from dropping his children off with the babysitter to sitting behind a bunker.

    This week I'm joined by my friend Hunter. He tells us how he went from attending a bible college and teaching at women's prison and college classes, to becoming a big city police officer. Enjoy his story! Hunter has moved around to different states and his life experiences have helped to shape him into the man, husband, father, and police officer he is today.

    Ep. 8 American Hero Hunt

    We switch things up a little bit this week with a combined podcast with American Hero Hunt. During the January board meeting I was honored to appointed to a board seat within the organization. Over the weekend of January 18-19, 2025 I was able to head to Uhrichsville, OH to Bullseye Pheasant and Duck Hunting to help two heroes get away for a Pheasant Hunt. While American Hero Hunt recorded their podcast, I fired up my equipment and we made a dual podcast. You can catch their episode on the American Hero Hunt podcast channel on Spotify! We discuss everything from applying for a hunt to driving a Subaru. Buckle up buttercup, this one was fun. Check out AmericanHeroHunt.org for more information on a phenomenal organization with a passion for giving back to our Veterans and First Responders!

    Ep. 7 God kicked the earth, but the Army moved a mountain

    I got the amazing opportunity to sit down with U.S. Army Vet, Gabe. We talk about how he joined the Army one week before the US was changed forever. He tells me the story of how he didn't get a purple heart because the brass doesn't like to admit fault. From diving in trenches in Afghanistan to getting part of his hip moved to his toes, this is a good one!
