In today's episode, I get to chat with my brother-in-law, Major Scott Harr! Scott is an Army Special Forces Officer and currently a PhD Candidate at the Helms School of Government, Liberty University, where he is pursuing his PhD in Foreign Policy.
MAJ Harr, holds an undergraduate degree in Arabic Language Studies from West Point (Class of 2006) and a Masters degree in Middle Eastern Affairs from Liberty University.
He currently lives with his wife (my sister), Kirsten, and their son, Trey, in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
In this episode you'll learn what took his family to The Kingdom, how a "kid" from New England came to speak fluent Arabic and several of its dialects! And of course we discuss the work he's currently engaged in at The Helms School of Government!
Scott is a highly prolific writer and has authored numerous publications over the years. Links to them can be found below.
