Skull Games Delta Force Operator Jeff Tiegs | Mike Drop Episode 235

Jeff Tiegs is a retired Delta Force Counter Terrorism and Counter Insurgency Expert with over 25 years of service in US Army Special Operations. With a distinguished military career spanning from a young ranger private to Delta Force lieutenant colonel, he has braved and commanded combat operations around the globe, including in Panama, Iraq, and Afghanistan. He's also the President of Skull Games Solutions, an organization that provides analytical and operational support to Law Enforcement Agencies engaged in counter sex trafficking operations. Unlike most Delta Force operators, Jeff has authored a book titled "Where Have All the Heroes Gone?: A Pilgrimage Through the Bible, the Battlefield, and Back Home Again", based on his exploration into Bible histories that helped him find meaning, inspiration, and the will to keep fighting, no matter the odds.
