Grit Machine DNA

Welcome to Grit Machine DNA.Through this series we interview everyday Americans who lead remarkable lives and serve as powerful examples of faith, family and grit. The goal of Grit Machine DNA is twofold…first to inspire all Americans to dream big, do more, become more and understand that great things happen when we assume personal responsibility. The second goal of the series is to introduce people to silent heroes everywhere -our neighbors, our teachers, first responders, coaches, fathers, mothers- who are doing powerful things without fanfare and whose lives offer us lessons and values we can all learn from. Join me in this wonderful journey as we discuss what it means to build Grit Machine DNA by hearing from people who do it every day.

Grit Machine DNA: Tony Negron

May 15, 2022 • David Morales • Season 1 • Episode 7

In this episode of Grit Machine DNA we chat with Tony Negron, a retired 26-year Air Force Pararescueman who has a passion for helping veterans find their purpose post-service and is the embodiment of faith, family and grit.

He is a dedicated father and husband who is happily married to an incredible wife and has raised four incredible sons. How to balance family and business? Tony says you have to prioritize and make sacrifices. “You go in the direction where you decide you want to go.”

In addition to serving as President of S.E.I. a New Hampshire-based Special Operations Force training company, he is also a board member for the Pararescue Foundation, and co-founder of another New Hampshire-based company Fusion Cell - which connects employers around the country with veteran workforce talent.
