The SOTF Team is excited to announce that Brendan Crane has successfully transitioned into a Teaching and Coaching role with @StJohnsCHS in Washington, D.C.

Brendan is a seasoned Special Operations leader who recently retired from the @USArmy as a Lieutenant Colonel after 20 years of selfless service. A snapshot of some of Brendan's accomplishments includes: 🇺🇸 Brendan retired as a Strategic Advisor in the Office of the Under-Secretary of War for Special Operations / Low-Intensity Conflict (OASW SOLIC). Before, he served on the Joint Staff and in the 7th Special Forces Group as an Operations Officer and commanded at the Company and Detachment levels. 🇺🇸 Brendan delivers principled collaboration to build a winning team by enhancing the organizational “north star” of culture, focusing on development and internal training that ensures staff, students, and players have the right habits, standards, and connection from strategy to ground-level implementation. 🇺🇸 Brendan holds a M.A. in National Security and Strategic Studies from the Naval War College and a B.A. from the University of Massachusetts at Amherst in Legal Studies. He also completed the Entrepreneurship Bootcamp for Veterans at Saint Joseph's University. 🇺🇸 Brendan is passionate about development, teaching, coaching, and athletic oversight. He demonstrates this by serving as a year-round volunteer coach, league president, and board member across multiple non-profit sports organizations. "The SOTF Team provided me with unparalleled support during my transition. SOTF personalized every aspect of the program, working diligently to help me establish myself in a new industry while helping me learn about myself to depths not previously discovered. Throughout this entire process, I felt accompanied by great teammates who feel more like friends than coaches/advisors. I'm blessed to have been part of this program for the past year and would recommend participation to all transitioning SOF servicemembers."
