These really do turn up in the most amazing places.
This time, it’s the September 2015 issue of ‘Guns & Ammo’, a magazine I’ve enjoyed since I was a kid.
Rob Trivino is a Retired US Army Special Operations Veteran and owner of Evergreen Mountain LLC. Now, he’s also the author of the newly released book, “A Warrior’s Path : Lessons In Leadership”.
Here is his description of the book:
This is my personal journey through one of the greatest warrior and leadership cultures of today, which ultimately provided me with defining leadership characteristics and the skills of a serious warrior. Nobody is born a great leader, they are made through hard work and determination.
My first Indian name given to me by the medicine man when I was a child was Bobcat. As I grew and became a young man, I returned home from my first combat experience and was given my warrior’s name, Evergreen Mountain. I am an American, first and foremost, but I am also a Pueblo and Yaqui Indian. I am a former member of the US Army’s 18th Airborne Corps, 75th Ranger Regiment, and spent most of my career as an operational member of a Special Missions Unit under the United States Army Special Operations Command.
These are some of my most important leadership lessons learned from the battlefield of the war on terror. It is my sincere hope that this book serves as a resource and a compass, providing direction and guidance for individuals seeking or in a leadership position.
