’ol boy English with subtitles. We have yet to need subtitles for any<br />

Craft courses, but we haven’t ruled out the possibility.<br />

We’ve assembled a team we believe is the best of the best in their<br />

given areas for all the areas of training we provide. (You can find more<br />

information at www.craftintl.com.)<br />

Building a company involves a lot of different skills I didn’t think I<br />

had. It also includes a ton of admin work.<br />

Damn.<br />

I don’t mind hard work, even if it is at a desk. One of the pullbacks<br />

on this job is that it’s given me “Dell hand”—I spend a lot of time<br />

pounding a computer keyboard. And every blue moon I have to wear a<br />

suit and tie. But otherwise, it’s a perfect job for me. I may not be rich,<br />

but I enjoy what I do.<br />

The logo for Craft came from the Punisher symbol, with a crusader<br />

crosshair in the right eye in honor of Ryan Job. He also inspired our<br />

company slogan.<br />

In April 2009, after Somali pirates had taken over a ship and were<br />

threatening the captain with death, SEAL snipers killed them from a<br />

nearby destroyer. Someone from the local media asked Ryan what he<br />

thought.<br />

“Despite what your mama told you,” he quipped, “violence does<br />

solve problems.”<br />

That seemed a pretty appropriate slogan for snipers, so it became<br />

ours.<br />
