Rich Castagna joined the Marines and served in Afghanistan in 2009-10.  He talks about an IED incident that killed his friend Lance Corporal Griffin, of Conneticut, and severly injured him.  The heroics to save him and the 32 surgeries are precursors to his life now in federal law enforcement with a wonderful wife and three children.  Rich, a MARSOC instructor, gives host Jim Fausone a look into MARSOC and the specialized training. Rich is known as the "luckiest unlucky guy" around.

Bridge and Tunnel Brewery is a Queens based nano-scale micro-brewery, launched by brewer/ proprietor, Rich Castagna. Rich has been brewing for over 11 years, and enjoys brewing and drinking darker beers, and beers with a flavorful kick. So the current line leans toward beers that are colorful both in the glass and on the palate. Rich was born and raised in Queens, and spent most of his life in the New York area, short of about 8 years living and traveling around the U.S. and overseas. Over the past 15 years, he’s lived in the Ridgewood/Bushwick area, Long Island City, Astoria, and Maspeth. He has 3 kids, 3 cats, a dog, a fish, a large amount of brewing equipment, and a very patient wife. “I’m so stretched thin, it’s ridiculous. It’s always only been me.” [08:00]
