My team of Army NCOs developed the deck of cards where Saddam Hussein was the Ace of Spades from the high priority kill/capture list developed by NSA, CIA, and DIA. I have extensive martial arts experience in over 10 disciplines. I qualified as a sniper in Panama as a member of the 1/17th Cav, 82nd Airborne Division.

I am a 100% disabled Veteran with brain damage from wounds and PTSD. I am retired, but I spend my time making custom knives and leather sheaths/holsters. I spend my nights tracking and killing wild hogs/pigs and coyotes that are destructive pests. I know how to survive in dangerous areas under all weather conditions.
