DUSTIN FOLKES

I grew up in Orange County, CA where I loved surfing and skateboarding. After high school, I joined the United States Marine Corps, where I deployed to Indonesia for humanitarian operations during Operation Unified Assistance. I later served in Iraq as part of Operation Iraqi Freedom at Forward Operating Base Falcon near Al-Mahmudiyah in Babil Province.

After the Marines, I spent the next twenty years protecting some of the most famous actors, athletes, and musicians in the world — working across six continents and inside some of the most high-pressure environments.

I’m a father, entrepreneur, podcast host, author, and world traveler — building a life that’s honest, intentional, and grounded in everything I’ve learned along the way.
