A 14yr veteran of both the Navy and Army, SSG Aaron Hale was blinded by an IED in 2011. Aaron became an EOD instructor, motivational speaker, mountain climber, kayaker, and marathon runner. Four years later tragedy struck again when Aaron contracted bacterial meningitis, which robbed him of his hearing leaving him completely deaf also. Again, Aaron got up, dusted off, and continued to chase life’s challenges. Today, he’s back speaking and sharing his story, running marathons, a proud husband and father of a nine year old son and newborn identical twins, and runs a thriving chocolate company with his wife.
