He quickly rose up in rank to become an Infantry Squad Leader and then Platoon Guide with 1st Battalion 5th Marines. He served as Platoon Guide for a 42 man rifle platoon during  Operation Iraqi Freedom (2005).

As an infantryman Marine, physical fitness can make the difference between whether you live or die during an operation. His time in combat has forever etched in his soul the value of life. The mind must be just as sharp as the body and this he spent 10 years perfecting. Since leaving the Marine Corps in 2006 to explore opportunities as a Chaplain, Guy has been a youth pastor, cycling instructor, and is currently preparing his body to run triathlons and ½ marathons in Corpus Christi. Although no longer in the Chaplaincy program due to God’s leading, his passion has always been seeing people grow to their full potential. Are you ready to make a change, no matter what the obstacle?
