Henry "The Hammer" Vorderbruggen

HENRY THE VETERAN

Following the attacks on 9/11/2001, Henry dropped out of college and volunteered for the United States Navy. He was assigned to the U.S.S. John F. Kennedy (CV-67) aircraft carrier in Mayport, Florida, and worked as a photojournalist. Henry finished at the top of his class among all branches of the military at Defense Information School (DINFOS), and was later awarded a letter of commendation and the Navy Achievement Medal for his work in the Kennedy’s media department. Following the ship’s decommissioning, he was transferred to shore duty at Naval Base Kitsap in Bangor, Washington, where he was quickly promoted and produced a variety of content for the Navy’s newspaper and website. He completed his undergraduate degree in Mass Communications and Journalism and ended his five-year enlistment with an honorable discharge.

Henry is the proud father of two sons, Barabbas and Atlas. Both are scholar-athletes and participate in a variety of sports and extracurricular activities. Atlas is an honors student and varsity wrestler in high school. Barabbas is in college and plans to be an attorney like his dad. Henry has volunteered to coach their sports teams since they were little boys. He has coached tee-ball, soccer, wrestling, basketball, and most recently flag football. Henry and the boys love the outdoors and exploring as much as possible.
