Summary

Jeff Higgins has attracted action wherever he has worked, from being involved in a shooting during training as a deputy sheriff in Hillsboro County, Florida, to opening up the first DEA office in Afghanistan to tackling a suicide bomber. He had so many stories that we decided to make this a four-part series.

Jeff is also an accomplished author. His latest book, The Forever Game, is available everywhere you buy books. Check out his website here. And if you happen to be in Alexandria, Virginia, make sure to stop by Elaine’s Restaurant.
