#11: Barry Scruggs - "Forge Your Path: Combat Veteran | Team RWB Firestarter | Ultra Runner"

Barry Scruggs is a US Army Veteran of 7 years on active duty, that included (2) Combat Deployments to Afghanistan for a total of 19 Months. Barry’s hobbies and interests include Ultra Marathons, Running and Weightlifting. In combination with daily life, he strives to engage others in the running community and those who are trying to reclaim their fitness, using his story as the foundation that change is possible and that you can do hard things.  In addition to Barry’s running platform on Instagram, he is going on his 2nd year as a Team RWB Ambassador also known as a "Firestarter". His mission as a “Firestarter” is to lead by example, spreading the fire, providing motivation and overcoming the stigma that Veterans are broken. By accomplishing this task, he is helping veterans reclaim their fitness and helping them join a community of other Veterans who want to enrich each other's lives and build a strong foundation. As Barry says, “Our time in service ended, but the mission continues”.
