Summary
Originally from the Houston area, Rep. Dan Crenshaw is a proud 6th generation Texan. From an early age, Dan knew that he wanted to serve his country with the most elite fighting force in history: the U.S. Navy SEALs. His father's career in the Texas oil and gas industry moved his family all over the world, including Ecuador and Colombia, where he attended high school. As a result, Dan is fluent in Spanish. In 2006, Dan graduated from Tufts University, where he earned his Naval officer commission through Navy ROTC. After graduating SEAL training, Dan deployed to Fallujah, Iraq to join SEAL Team Three, his first of five deployments overseas. On Dan's third deployment in 2012, his life changed forever.
In November 2018, Dan was elected to represent the people of Texas's Second Congressional District. Dan believes in service before self and understands that there is no higher calling than service to the American people.
This episode is awesome and covers everything under the sun in relation to the Navy SEALS, politics, the pathway to the top, and how as long as you surround yourself with the right people, and do not place blame, anything is possible.
