Adren·a·line | \ ə-ˈdre-nə-lən \: Feelings of heightened energy, excitement, strength, and alertness; a jolt of useful energy and stimulation.
While adrenaline can have several meanings, for us, it’s a feeling; that feeling you get when you’re challenging yourself to get outside of your comfort zone. So we asked ourselves, “How do we inspire the world to leave their comfort zones behind them?”. Physically, emotionally, and even spiritually.
That’s why we established our Athletic Team.
A collective of individuals dedicated to defying the status quo and inspiring change. Special Operators, Veterans, First Responders, Special Agents, Professional Athletes, Coaches, and Civilians united for the same cause. Not only does our team set the bar high for chasing stoke and pursuing adventure, but each of our Athletes embody UDC’s core value of wellness by leading the way in our MyZone Community.
Meet our Athletic Team:

His job is to lead teenage boys who struggle with drug or alcohol addiction, behavioral issues, and/or mental illnesses.
He was raised working on ranches gathering, roping and branding cattle, along with catching wild cattle (Mavericks) in legendary Tombstone Arizona.
Dylans ranching experience, along with his history in different trades, gave him an advantage to teach the boys lessons of hard work, respect and brotherhood. When they are not in equine therapy or learning the importance of sobriety, Dylan is in the gym with them teaching basic fundamentals, movements, tips and tricks of weight lifting. His purpose is to teach them to become mentally, emotionally and physically strong and resilient. Dylan shares that he absolutely LOVES his job!
Dylan learned on his own that using a healthier form suffering and punishment in the gym was a better way to cope with depression and suicidal thoughts than alcohol abuse. Along with rigorous physical labor on a drill rig, he found fitness to be a therapeutic means to cope and cure his mental illness. Suffering produced endurance and appreciation for life.
Dylan lives for service. There is no better or more fulfilling feeling to him than helping people. He strives to make people laugh and says, “I’m the funniest guy you’ve never met”.
Dylan loves this land beyond words and believes in our country.
“Pet a dog, get in the saddle, get out in the mountains, do the hardest job and ALWAYS say thank you”

Paul served 17 Years in the Army with several combat deployments. Sadly, he was wounded in combat and sustained injuries and illnesses that he will carry with him for the rest of his life. He is currently a firearms instructor and Executive Protection Agent.
Paul’s passions are bowhunting, shooting sports, hiking, skydiving, firearms instructing and archery.
This is why Paul goes as hard as he does; he’s dealt with some Dr., PT, OT, BH and VA personnel telling him that will never be able to run, jump, shoot, ruck or so on. For a while he believed it. He shares that he traveled a really dark road for a while. A road so dark, he thought there was no light on the horizon. He made a plan. He weighed the pro’s and con’s. He concluded ending it was the only way for his family to have the father they needed, his wife the have the husband she needed, and so on.
One month from the time he decided was supposed to be the day. However, in the midst of all the chaos, Paul was ordered to attend adaptive reconditioning archery, although he wanted nothing to do with it.
Reluctantly, he went to the archery range and shot. He couldn’t even hit the bail at 20 yards. The coach moved him to the ten yard, making him fell like he was a little kid. He left there that day so frustrated, but he went back the next day, and the next, and the next. Six moths later he tried out for the Army team, competing in local, state and national matches. He literally FORGOT about my plan.
His family life was drastically better. His health was improving. His physical therapy and occupational therapy was improving. He was now a multi-sport athlete for the Army. Archery saved his life.
Most importantly, he loves helping other wounded warriors find their purpose again. Weather it’s through adaptive archery or shooting sports, (outside of his boys) there is absolutely nothing more satisfying to him than watching the life or spark return to a veteran’s eyes; watching a defeated soul reignite with life is inspiring.
Pauls experience and dedication to saving others makes him perfect for our team.

She was raised to have a fierce love for life and to always get regular “gut checks.” The feeling right down deep in your gut that you get from the adrenaline of doing something thrilling but even on the verge of fear – the feeling that lets you know you’re actually alive, living life the way it should be lived. Screaming across the AZ desert on two wheels, flying down double black diamond runs, barreling through Class V rapids in the Grand Canyon, even diving with great white sharks are some of Jade’s favorite ways to get those “gut checks” in.
Jade has recently found a passion for firearms and learning how to safely use them in all situations. She has combined her long-time love of fitness and her new-found love of firearms by regularly competing in The Tactical Games to constantly test her abilities.
She is a highly empathetic person and passionate about serving others and making sure those around her feel seen and loved. She feels that family and a strong sense of community are the most important parts of life.
If there is one thing she knows for sure, it’s that death is the only thing that is promised and she is determined to make the best of life. For her, this means not making excuses, choosing the challenging road – the one that will prove what she’s made of, finding her community, always having purpose, getting regular “gut checks” in, and never missing a chance to tell people how much she loves them.
Jades lust for life and giving it all she’s got makes her a killer addition to the team!
