TUNNEL RAT grew up on the streets of Brooklyn and comes from a family whose background includes Trinidadian Chinese, Irish, Spanish and Indian ancestry. He got tough on the Ranger Course at Fort Benning then honed his skills at missions around the world. There isn’t a mine, booby-trap or bomb in the world that he can’t disarm, defuse or otherwise deactivate in less than thirty seconds. This comes from constant practice on dummy devices, or whatever he can get his hands on that ticks. He’s an expert at negotiating his way through tunnels, air ducts and other tight places where bombs and booby-traps are likely to be planted.

“Crawling through small, dark places without knowing who or what is up ahead - well, you need a lot of courage and some dumb luck. Most of all, you have to believe that you’re smarter and faster than whatever you find.”
