In this episode of DogTags to Ownership, we sit down with Sean Loosen, a U.S. Army veteran and West Point graduate who took the lessons of leadership, discipline, and grit from the infantry field to the forefront of the optical industry.
As the Owner and CEO of PDS Optical, Sean shares how his military background shaped his entrepreneurial mindset, the challenges of scaling a specialized manufacturing company, and why serving others—whether in uniform or through business—remains his driving purpose.
From combat boots to custom lenses, Sean’s story is a powerful example of how veterans can innovate, lead, and thrive in civilian industries.
