In this episode of Let’s Know Buffalo, we sit down with Frank Morabito, a Buffalo native with a story that sounds like something straight out of a movie. From skipping high school classes to work HVAC, to jumping out of planes with the 82nd Airborne, to running high-level security ops in Baghdad. He talks about what drove him to enlist, how the military gave him purpose and structure, and why the transition back to civilian life was anything but smooth. From failed fitness tests to surprise deployments, he shares both the setbacks and triumphs.But what really stands out is how Frank turned it all into something bigger back home. He now runs Bull Creek Strategic, a firearms and tactical training company that's changing the game in WNY. If you’ve ever owned a gun, considered self-defense training, or just want to hear what real leadership looks like this one's for you.#buffalony #firearmtraining #military #firearmsafety
