Some men see world events and say “someone should do something about that”; other men, men like Nate Boyer say “I should do something about that.”
On episode 3 of Return to Base, we welcome former Green Beret, Nate Boyer.
Nate is what some would call a renaissance man. Moved by a Time Magazine article, Nate bought a one-way ticket into the humanitarian crisis in the Darfur. Once there, he was put to work wherever they needed a set of hands and a compassionate human.
His travel to the Darfur is but a sampling of his extraordinary journey which would see him earn the Green Beret, have a go at the NFL, and sample the bright lights of Hollywood.
Nate co-founded Merging Vets and Players in 2015 to address the challenges that combat veterans and former professional athletes face in transition once the uniform comes off.
