Michael Caughran
Michael Caughran has served for years as a USAF SERE Instructor. He graduated selection with distinction, was blessed to be a member of the only team in SERE tech school history with zero quitters and spent much of his time in service as a trainer and developer of other SERE instructors.
Michael’s passion for freedom and serving others has led him to pursue a career equipping others with the skills and confidence they need to thrive as families and patriots.
Michael was raised in the proud American traditions of liberty, personal responsibility and civic duty. It is a deep passion for him that he now shares with his wife, Katrinity. Together, they intend to pass on those traditions to their future children.
