"Get outside of the box and try something new...Lean forward, work hard and don't quit." - John Wayne Walding About Our Guest John spent 12 years in the United States Army, including seven years in the Special Forces Group at Ft. Bragg, North Carolina. He served in Iraq and Afghanistan, and during his career at 3rd SFG, he served on ODA 396/3336 as a Special Forces Communications Sergeant and the Sniper Detachment as a Sniper Instructor. It was during the harrowing battle of Shok Valley on April 6, 2008, that John would lose his leg to a sniper, and yet returned fire for four more hours with his severed lower limb tied to his thigh. Post-injury, John attended Special Forces Sniper School and upon graduation became the first amputee ever to become a Green Beret Sniper. Today John is a successful entrepreneur with ownership interest in Live to Give, a beverage company that donates half of its net profits to first responders, military members and their families. John and his wife, Amy, live in Frisco, Texas with their four children. Johns passion in life is his family.
