Brad joined The Protectors to talk about his career as an author after retiring from the U.S. Army, including his time as commanding in the infamous “Unit”. Brad is the best-selling author of the Pike Logan Series and just released his latest installment, Hunter Killer. I have personally been a big fan of the series since its inception in 2011, with One Rough Man. Listen in…
From Brad’s site: Brad served for more than 21 years, retiring as a Special Forces Lieutenant Colonel. During that time, he held numerous Infantry and Special Forces positions, including eight years in 1st Special Forces Operational Detachment – Delta where he commanded multiple troops and a squadron.
