Background

About Benjamin Munn

I retired from the US Military in 2023 concurrently while continuing my education in Business Management in the SUNY education system. I began my career as a Motor Vehicle Operator out of high school until switching to Infantry after events of 9/11. While in New York City, I served as a driver for VIPs between JFK and LaGuardia Airports in the months after that date and as a member of a security detail at Indian Point Nuclear Power Plant soon after. I was then transferred to the US/Canada border in Champlain, NY to supplement the US Customs and Border Patrol. Soon after the US interdiction in Iraq, I was then mobilized to deploy to Iraq, serving north of Baghdad from late 2003 to early 2005. I returned home to complete further education within the SUNY system before being offered a full active position within the Army National Guard in 2006 where I have served in many positions since to include an additional deployment in Afghanistan in 2012 with a Forward Support Company assisting in the retrograde of US equipment to other locations within the Middle East. Most recently I have served as the Senior Logistical Specialist for the 501st Ordnance Battalion (Explosive Ordnance Disposal) since 2014 overseeing all logistical operations for approximately 400 personnel encompassing 4 companies of EOD, transportation and medical support. I have since been transferred to Westchester County to serve as a Readiness Specialist where I currently plan on finishing my military career in July 2023. I have attained much experience in logistical management and operations due to overseeing logistical operations due to multiple federal mobilizations, civil support operations, and most recently federal and state operations as a result of the COVID pandemic. I am currently employed by the US Government as a Supply Technician and am married to my beautiful wife Alyssa who is a proud Licensed Veterinary Technician where we reside in Greenfield Center, NY. There we share our other love of raising animals and enjoying the outdoors. We also love to escape to our year-round retreat on Sacandaga Lake in Speculator, NY enjoying the Adirondack Park and all it has to offer.
