Today's guest Christopher Torres, a Marine and Jersey native, served in the United States Marine Corps from 2002 to 2014 as a database administrator, completing eight deployments, including combat tours in Iraq and Afghanistan. After his military service, he worked as a contractor in Africa and the Middle East before joining Leidos in July 2017 as a Mission Planning Database Administrator until January 2022. Currently with GDIT, he manages 10K+ users on the only DoD-approved messaging app for SOCOM operators.
Beyond his military and professional roles, Chris is dedicated to developing Marines and youth in Okaloosa County. In 2018, he founded Future Stars Sports Clinic (FSSC), a 501(c)(3) organization that provides a free program using sports and the 5 Pillars of Success to teach critical life skills to children in Fort Walton Beach. FSSC, now in its 6th year, is making a positive impact, breaking barriers, and setting an example for community fortification well beyond Okaloosa County. #legendsneverdie
