Pat Tillman Foundation CEO, Dan Futrell
You can’t be a part of Arizona and not know know the name, Pat Tillman. He was a man of honor, courage and bravery. And while he isn’t here in body, his legacy continues on each and every day through the Pat Tillman foundation. Pat’s run just celebrated its 19th year, last weekend. The 4.2 mile run ending at 42nd yard line on ASU Sun Devil field in memory of #42 himself. This week I have the honor of speaking with Pat Tillman Foundation CEO Dan Futrell. Dan has a long list of accolades to his name. Growing up in foster care before moving to California to be raised by a single dad. He went on to graduate from Gonzaga on an ROTC scholarship which led him to the military path after graduating. After 5 years in the service he was awarded the Combat Infantryman’s Badge, the Ranger Tab, and two Bronze Star Medals. In 2011 he was part of the 3rd class of the Pat Tillman foundation and since 2019 holds the title of CEO.
