Born in the Dominican Republic and raised in New Jersey, Amaury’s 20+ years of Navy service have been defined by resilience, sacrifice, and the pursuit of excellence. He opens up about:
• Witnessing unimaginable loss during the USS Cole disaster
• Confronting personal flaws, including a battle with serial womanizing
• Balancing the demands of military life with his roles as a son, father, and mentor
But Amaury’s journey isn’t just about challenges—it’s also about growth. He’s a two-time master’s degree graduate, most recently earning one in Applied Cyber Operations from the Naval Postgraduate School. He’s a global traveler who’s visited over 80 countries and 100 cities, a soccer enthusiast, and a lover of cultural exploration through food. His why are his kids and leaving a legacy his mother and children can be proud of.
