Summary
Alex Cabral didn't wait around when 9/11 happened; at just 17 years old, he signed an Army Ranger contract and eventually deployed six times as a highly-trained sniper. After walking away from a safe desk job at the NSA, he spent eight grueling years operating in the shadows as an intelligence contractor in Iraq and Syria. Today, he has traded the chaos of the sandbox for the "New American Dream," building a peaceful multi-family homestead and raising his kids. We discuss his jarring transition from life-or-death operations to becoming a youth baseball commissioner, and how he now uses his Spec Ops experience to build mental armor for first responders with Sharp Performance. Real people. Real stories. Real f**king life.
