Jason Nauert
Jason Nauert is The Butcher. He grew up in Woodland Park, Colorado, at the base of Pike’s Peak, hunting, fishing, and everything else outdoors. He’s a master gardener, butcher, and wilderness survival expert, and he graduated from the Rocky Mountain Institute of Meat.
He began training the 10th Special Forces Group in 2014 on how to source animals and butcher them in unforgiving locations. Today, his training is in the Program of Record for the U.S. Army, and he continues to train Special Operations groups from all branches of the U.S. Armed Forces, as well as international units, celebrity chefs, and veteran organizations.
Jason is the perfect host to guide the audience through some of the toughest training on the planet and to teach them how to apply elite skills to their everyday lives.
