Romesha separated from the Army in 2011, and now lives in Minot, ND with his wife and their three children. His fondest childhood memories are of spending time with his grandpa, the late Aury Smith, a WWII veteran, on his small ranch in Vya, Nevada. His grandpa told him to always do his best, and that the integrity of the family name was Romesha’s legacy to be cherished.
Clint is a tremendous addition to our team. He is an avid Sportsman, and he spends any of his free time hunting, fishing, being outdoors, and enjoys watching hockey. His love of Country, his humble spirit, and his Warrior legacy make him truly inspiring. We are incredibly grateful for him volunteering his time and talent to the Warrior cause.
