Former U.S. Navy SEAL and author of And Goliath: The Littlest SEAL's Inspirational Story About Living Your Biggest Life,  David Brown, who was the unlikeliest of candidates for the world's most grueling military selection process. 

Standing just 5' 3" and weighing 110 pounds, he was unlike any of the others around him who aspired to be SEALs. But through dogged determination and an iron will, he overcame every obstacle that life put in front of him to achieve his dream of becoming a SEAL.

David Brown's life has been one of perseverance, tenacity, and achievement—from childhood adventures, to love lost and found, to BUD/S, the Teams, an exciting career at NCIS, and then a steady climb to the top echelons of Federal law enforcement. And  Goliath is his story through military life and what comes after—the good and the bad.

Rebecca Rouse is a tactical strength & conditioning coach (TSAC-F), business owner, top 3 nationally ranked competitive weightlifter, and wife of a United States Marine. She has over a decade of coaching and leadership experience in the fitness industry, and now primarily focuses on training and educating tactical athletes - law enforcement, firefighters, and military personnel - as well as veterans. 

Her passion for health and wellness stems from her own journey battling chronic illness, which rendered her ineligible for military service in 2010.

Roughly 1.25% of the Air Force hold the rank of Chief Master Sergeant. It’s already a tough milestone to achieve.

Tiffany Zaloudek is someone who did just that and made even more history recently by becoming the first female survival, evasion, resistance, escape (SERE) specialist to earn the rank of Chief Master Sergeant, the highest enlisted rank in the U.S. Air Force.

Although not the first female SERE specialist, when she earned her beret in 2007, she broke an eight-year dry spell in which no women had graduated from the specialized training course. Reflecting on her initial recruitment, she remembers her recruiter handing her a SERE brochure with no women in it.

Her career is a testament to her dedication, resilience, and impact on SERE training and culture, inspiring countless Airmen. 

Travis entered the Army in 1995 as an Airborne Medic with the goal of one day becoming an 18D Green Beret Medic. After 6 years in the service, Travis left the Army to attend Boise State University, where he studied Exercise Science and played hockey for the ACHA club hockey program. 

After juggling the challenges of active duty and a supplement store along with multiple deployments, Travis decided that it was time to retire and start his own product line, called Alpha Elite Performance – a brand founded upon the consummate professionalism and high physical fitness standards characteristic of the Special Forces community.

Established in Colorado Springs, CO. Alpha Elite Performance reflects Travis’ dedication to the provision of high-quality supplements not just for Green Berets, but for all active-duty military and civilians alike.

He is also the Director of Mission and Program Delivery at the Green Beret Foundation.
