After a decade in the military Kyle retired to spend more time
with his family and joined other former SEALs to establish Craft
International, a security company with the motto "Despite what your
momma told you, violence does solve problems." He also helped found
Fitco Cares, a foundation providing gyms and fitness equipment to
keep soldiers active and providing counselling and medical networks.
Fitco Cares director Trevor Cox described Kyle as a modest man who
wanted to serve his country and help others, and who died "doing
what filled his heart with passion – helping soldiers struggling
with the fight to overcome PTSD."
Here is a message from Chris on his Craft International website
Thank you for choosing Craft International to meet your training needs. As a military or law enforcement professional we understand your time is valuable.
We are honoured to be able to share with you the lessons learned from our instructors, whom have walked in similar paths as yourself, and some of whom continue to still do so today.
Through these lessons, experiences, in-depth studies, pain/sweat/tears, and in some cases blood, they have set forth a curriculum rooted in solid fundamentals that have been time tested and proven under a variety of operational conditions.
Our goal with our courses is to do one thing; make you better by giving you the skills necessary to dominate your opponent and win.
It's never about what we have done and where we have been; only how well we can articulate it all to you. We strive to be true teachers, and not merely instructors.
We are humbled to be a part of your continuing search and refinement of your chosen craft. Thank you for your continued service, dedication, and associated sacrifices made in protecting this great nation, at home and abroad.
Respectfully
Chris Kyle, President -Craft International
