He culminated his service as a Special Forces (Green Beret) Team Sergeant for 3.5 years in 5th Special Forces Group, The Legion. Prior to earning his Green Beret, he earned the 2008 U.S. Army Drill Sergeant of the Year award. He is the only person in the history of the Army to have earned this award and the Green Beret. Herb started his Army career in Human Resources as that was the only job available to him when he entered the Army as a color-blind 17-year-old. He earned a B.S. in Business Studies in Business Administration from Southern New Hampshire University online and attended the Tuck: Next Step Transition to Business graduate certificate program at the Tuck School of Business at Dartmouth. During his retirement from the Army, Herb founded SF2BIZ, a 501(c)3 organization with a mission to empower Special Forces veterans to seize opportunities in business. He currently resides at his slice of heaven in the woods in the Washington, DC area. In his free time, he supports veterans in transition, hikes with his spoiled Labradoodle Liberty Belle, and spends time with his two amazing young sons. See less
