LOCAL VETERAN OWNED BUSINESSES THAT WE SUPPORT AND WHO SUPPORT US.

Whether you’re surviving in the forest, the battle field, PTSD or just life, we all need each other at some point. The Warrior Clan and Mountain Man Worx are two local and Veteran owned companies that share a similar mission: To Help, Teach and Protect our community members.

All of us spent time overseas while in the U.S. Military fighting for our country. When we came home, we decided to keep the mission vision going. We all love helping our community members through counsel and teaching, and that is what we do.
