Summary

Michael Crossley is a real American hero. For 8 years, Croz served in the Marine Corps, doing just about every badass thing you can think of—amphibious reconnaissance, jumping out of planes, and serving in the first Gulf War. Landing back in the states in 2011, and facing PTSD and other hardships post-military, he committed himself to a new mission. As the Director of Base Camp, and the founder of Veteran Camp, an off-the-grid weekend for vets, Croz is an aggressive man who measures success in terms of service to others.
