He showed them that this company had a story that needed to be told and a product too bad ass to not have in every home. From there, he was able to successfully make the transition from military to civilian life while helping other vets along the way. He shared his story and some useful tips for “vetrepreneurs” with Military.com.

Starting with a few power tools in a one-car garage in military housing, Bottle Breacher has worked its way to being featured on Forbes’ Top 25 Veteran Owned Businesses list. It’s this journey that has taught Crane many lessons that he felt he could share with the veteran community in regards to the transition from the military to being a successful entrepreneur including: build a team, don’t count on anything from anyone, if you want to be an entrepreneur keep your day job but start a side hustle, resilience is the most important thing when exiting the service, and find a way to continue your service to this country.
