Summary
After graduating the United States Military Academy at West Point, Nick Palmisciano served for 6 years as an infantry officer before shuffling off into the world of business.
As a newly minted civilian he founded Ranger Up, which grew to prominence as the first military lifestyle brand. Under it's umbrella, Nick created a very popular YouTube Channel catering to the military, police, fire and EMS. In addition to creating comical internet fare, Nick has produced several documentaries focused on veterans. Warriors (2013) which centers around the Army Combatives world, and True Silence, which focuses on one veteran's successful coping mechanism from a traumatic brain injury, both received critical acclaim.
In 2015, Nick, along with Ross Patterson, Mat Best, Jarred Taylor, Jack Mandaville, and Vincent Vargas wrote and produced the first ever veteran-made action-comedy: Range 15. Range 15 is the fourth largest crowd sourced movie of all time and premieres in May 2016.
Mike Simpson has served over three decades in the military as an Airborne Ranger, a Special Forces Operator, and finally as a Doctor of Emergency Medicine assigned to the Joint Special Operations Command (JSOC). Throughout his career, Mike has deployed to 17 different countries, from counter-narcotics operations in the jungles of South America, to the Global War on Terror (GWOT) in Southwest Asia and North Africa.
Along the way, Mike has been trained as a demolitions expert, SWAT Sniper, High Altitude Low Opening (HALO) parachutist, civilian paramedic, Special Forces Medic, Operations and intelligence Sergeant, and finally, a board certified Emergency Medicine Physician.
Mike is also a martial arts enthusiast, who trains in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and Muay Thai. His passion for martial arts motivated him to become a practicing fight doctor. As one of the foremost experts in both tactical trauma medicine and combat sports medicine, Mike is highly sought after as a lecturer and instructor, working extensively with Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) fighters, law enforcement, and military organizations providing medical care and training. He co-stars on Hunting Hitler on the History Channel.
