Bradley Snyder Career

After graduating from United States Naval Academy in 2006, Bradley joined US Navy. While attending the academy he was the captain of the swim team.

However, he didn't go for swimming, instead, he became a lieutenant in the Navy and served in Afghanistan as an explosive ordnance disposal officer.

Unfortunately, he lost both of his eyes after accidentally stepping on an IED while helping the victims of another bombing. The explosion not only damaged his eyes but also shattered his eardrum but he recovered after three weeks treatment.
