Jerrod Fussnecker

Listen in to hear about John’s experience as one of the first JAGs in Afghanistan after 9/11 where, for a time, he survived on Orange Fanta and goat meat.  John had a fascinating career, then during COVID, his daughter faced a health issue that made him and his family decide it was time to transition back to Florida. John’s career trajectory in the past five years has continued to be fascinating- from selling Corvettes on the Florida coast to returning to the court room to his new role in business development and governmental affairs for a veteran focused law firm.
