Michael Caughran is a prior US Air Force SERE Specialist who trained America's elite warriors in similar survival, evasion, resistance, and escape skills now adapted for Grey Man Academy. He graduated with distinction and was part of the only team in SERE tech school history with zero quitters.

When special operations forces needed to survive in hostile territory, they used methods Michael taught and helped develop. Now he brings that same uncompromising approach to business travelers who refuse to leave their safety to chance.

Michael's students don't just learn skills—they develop the warrior mindset that transforms ordinary people into extra ordinary protectors."
