About Brent
Brent Fuchs grew up exploring the rugged mountains of Utah, where his passion for the outdoors flourished through hunting and adventure. His early jobs included roles as a snowmobile guide, river guide, and ski patrol, eventually leading him to Southern Utah, where he thrived as a desert survival guide. After a transformative two-year mission in Brazil for his church, Brent sought to challenge himself further by joining the military.
His military journey began with a role in the Air Force Guard as an Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) technician, including a combat deployment to Iraq from 2008 to 2009, where he was responsible for neutralizing and safely disposing of explosive threats.
This experience honed his skills in high-pressure environments and laid the groundwork for his future in the Army. Brent transitioned to the Army as a 25Q, before successfully completing the rigorous Special Forces Selection and Qualification Course. Earning the prestigious Green Beret, Brent joined the elite 5th Special Forces Group, known for its critical role in U.S. military operations and its focus on unconventional warfare. His service included combat deployments to Afghanistan (2014-2015), Lebanon (2016), and three deployments to Syria (2017, 2018, 2020), where he played a pivotal role in advising and assisting local forces, significantly contributing to mission success in volatile regions.
Throughout his military career, Brent has faced and overcome significant challenges, including multiple injuries from training scenarios and combat engagements. These injuries, including broken bones, failed surgeries, damaged core muscles from blast overpressure, and multiple traumatic brain injuries, tested his physical and mental resilience. Each time, Brent rebuilt himself, drawing on a deep commitment to a positive mindset and the importance of resilience. These experiences have shaped his approach to life and his dedication to helping others develop the same strengths.
Now, Brent works with a military contractor, training EOD techs to support Special Forces missions. In his free time, he serves as President of the Board for Shielding Our Future, a non-profit organization he founded with his wife and fellow Green Berets. Inspired by the children Brent met while deployed, the organization is dedicated to preventing traumatic experiences for children and helping those who have experienced trauma to heal and have a chance at a better future.
Brent's unique blend of practical outdoor skills, military experience, and commitment to resilience makes him a sought-after speaker, mentor, and instructor, offering insights and training on mindset, resilience, and specialized military skills.
