John Warren : 

It’s always strange writing your own bio. I work hard to not brag about myself and now I am faced with a task that contrasts with that. First and foremost, I am father of two beautiful little girls whom I love dearly. I am an everyday man with an appetite for adventure. I have always sought out hard earned things sometimes to the detriment of my body but will continue these pursuits until I can longer get up. I am a veteran of both OIF and OEF. I am Sniper, a title I hold near to my heart. I have spent my entire adult life in pursuit of excellence behind a rifle it is as much a part of me as my own two hands. I am a teacher of sorts I pass this knowledge I have gained though my life to new and initiated snipers from all services conventional and SOF. This is how I give back to my community. I am a student who seeks mastery hoping I never gain it because the path to mastery is what interests me. I am outdoorsman, living in the pacific northwest affords me many opportunities to pursue other passions such as climbing, surfing and hunting. I have contributed writing to Gym Jones, Forward observations, Sofletes Die Living Journal and The Journal of Mountain Hunting. I am a yogi working with companies to break stereotypes of masculinity and help Veterans transition. I am currently the Director of Military Business Development and Export at Aero Precision a job I love very much. I have been so fortunate in my life to be a person who loves what they do as I believe living with passion for all things is what truly helps us live. I think the two great philosophers "Bill" S. Preston Esq. &  Theodore "Ted" Logan summed it up great when they philosophized this “The Best Time To Be Is Now, And All’s We Can Say Is...Let’s Rock!”
