Episode 34: Meet Commander Eric Tung - Growing up in a Disjointed Household, Power of Diversity of Thought, and Founder of Blue Grit Wellness

In this Getting to Know, Your Local LEO Episode, we meet Police Commander, Eric Tung, who serves a department in Western Washington, close to Seattle. He is also the founder of Blue Grit Wellness, host of the Blue Grit Radio Podcast, writes for police publications, and speaks on first responder wellness. 

In this episode, we learn what it was like growing up as a stereotypical Asian American kid after winning the “birth lottery”. We also dive into a raw and honest discussion regarding his Dad, growing up in a disjointed home, and their tenuous to non-existent relationship, before personal growth sets in, prior to his Dad’s passing. 

He also shares with us the importance of the diversity of thought, his unexpected marriage proposal, and the importance of health and wellness, where you can live the life you want, the best way you want to live it.
