Kierre Smith spent 12 years as a Navy SWCC—Special Warfare Combatant-Craft Crewman—operating fast boats and heavy weapons in special operations. But after years of service and sacrifice, the hardest mission came post-transition. In this episode, Kierre shares his powerful story of faith, family, and forging a new purpose through NBD Motorsports, a veteran-owned suspension and automotive shop based in Virginia Beach.
From surviving a childhood drowning to finding Christ, from working on 64 Impalas to lifting RVs by hand, Kierre proves that grit, faith, and integrity still matter. He opens up about founding NBD Motorsports in 2017, why he believes customer education matters, and how his business brings honesty back to vehicle service.
