Max is a tactical trainer and author, a professional soldier with extensive experience in British elite forces and as a paramilitary contractor. Max was enlisted and commissioned into the Parachute Regiment, an elite airborne infantry unit, accessible only via the renowned ‘Pegasus Company’ Selection, comparable to U.S. SOF units such as the 75th Ranger Regiment. Max served on a number of combat deployments, including rifle platoon commander, patrol leader, recruit instructor (platoon commander) at the PARA Training Depot, anti-armor platoon commander, operations officer and command on deployments. Following UKSF selection, Max completed one final deployment and left the British Army to spend a further five years working as a paramilitary contractor in both Iraq and Afghanistan.
Since 2013, Max has run Max Velocity Tactical (MVT), a training company conceived to offer professional combat training for responsible citizens and U.S. Military.
