Professional Expertise
A multiple-tour combat veteran of the United States Army & Navy, courageous 9/11 first responder, and Purple Heart recipient. Bryan has over 25 years of military experience focused on special operations specializing in Hostage Rescue, Counter-Terrorism, Counter-Proliferation, Critical Technology Protection, and Unconventional Warfare. He is the Chairman and Founder of Grey Bull Rescue.
The Beginning
When Bryan saw Afghans struggling and Americans trying to escape the Taliban after the U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan in 2021, he decided to act. Together with a team of former special operations and intelligence veterans, he led swift rescue missions amid the chaos. On their first mission, they saved 117 stranded Americans in one day. This effort led to the creation of the Grey Bull Rescue Foundation. Since then, Stern and his team have deployed on 616 missions, saving more than 7,000 American lives. This includes missions in Ukraine, Sudan, Haiti, Israel, and Gaza, along with operations in the United States during the Maui wildfires and Hurricane Ian.
Mission Contributions
Stern is a frequent contributor to global media, academia, and geopolitical security forums. He aids U.S. and allied governments, along with commercial and financial sectors, to address and manage geopolitical crises. Stern holds positions on various boards dedicated to strategy, technological innovation, and foreign policy and is a member of several professional organizations including the Young Presidents’ Organization (YPO) and Business Executives for National Security (BENS). He is the sole U.S. Navy Officer inducted into the Order of Saint Maurice by the Chief of the U.S. Army Infantry.

Jack Bergman
Congressman for the First District of Michigan
Friday, March 13, 2026 at 11:30 AM at the Naples Hilton
Purchase Tickets
Growing up in the Midwest, Jack Bergman’s parents instilled in him the values that drive the American Dream: If you work hard, never quit, and strive for excellence, you will find success. Those values are what guided him to the rank of Lt. General in the United States Marine Corps, empowered him to successfully own and operate a small business, and allowed him to enjoy a 22-year career as a commercial airline pilot.
Jack proudly represents the First District of Michigan. The boundaries contain the entire Upper Peninsula and all of northern lower Peninsula. Altogether, the district makes up about 44% of the land mass of the state of Michigan. The Bergman family roots in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula stretch back to the late 1800’s where his ancestors worked as iron miners. Serving his country in uniform for 40 years, Jack has spent time all around the United States – and world. Nearly three decades ago, Jack and his wife Cindy settled in Watersmeet, on the western edge of Michigan’s beautiful Upper Peninsula.
Jack is a grandfather to ten grandchildren. This has always been one of the largest factors in his service in Congress. When Jack sees what is happening in Washington, he knows that we are not doing our best at leaving our children and grandchildren a better place. From his business to his distinguished military career, and now in Congress – Jack Bergman does not accept the status-quo as an acceptable path forward. Jack is driven by his commitment to serving others. While in the military, he launched two successful startup businesses in the medical equipment field, maintaining an obligation to both his nation and his customers simultaneously. As an entrepreneurial leader focused on mission accomplishment and customer satisfaction, Jack knows how to get things done.
Hard work and commitment made the United States the most exceptional nation in the world. Those are the principles that have guided Jack’s life, and are the principles that he is bringing to Washington. He believes what most Michiganders believe: Americans know how to live their lives better than politicians or bureaucrats do. Jack’s life has been dedicated to service and defending the Constitution. He is the highest ranking combat Veteran to have ever served in the U.S. House. He is shaking up the status quo in both Congress and will continue defending the United States from those who want to weaken it, both domestically and abroad.

Blaise Ingoglia, Chief Financial Officer (CFO) and Chief Fire Marshal for the State of Florida was appointed in July of 2025. As a State Senator he was one of the most influential conservative voices in the state, will be speaking to The Right Men’s Club of Collier County on April 10th, 7:30 am at the Naples Hilton.
Florida’s CFO serves as one of three constitutionally elected state executives of the Florida Cabinet, which comprises the Chief Financial Officer, the Attorney General, and the Commissioner of Agriculture and Consumer Services.
Blaise Ingoglia built his reputation by holding government accountable, long before he held public office. Originally from New York, Blaise moved to Spring Hill, Florida, in 1996 with just $1,600 to his name. He soon found success as a mortgage broker and later founded Hartland Homes, a homebuilding company dedicated to helping working families achieve the dream of homeownership.
Ingoglia has been at the center of Florida’s conservative transformation over the last decade. A former Chairman of the Republican Party of Florida and as a Senator, he has been a driving force behind key GOP priorities in the state, including:

Election integrity and voting reforms
Strong border and immigration enforcement measures
Cutting taxes and reducing the size of government
Expanding parental rights and pushing back on woke policies in schools and corporations
Defending the Second Amendment and law enforcement

He is known for his plain-spoken, hard-hitting style and his willingness to take on the Left, the media, and the Republican establishment when necessary.
This event will give our members an inside look at:

How Florida became the model for conservative governance
What big fights conservatives are facing next in Tallahassee and nationally
How grassroots activists and local leaders can make the most impact in 2024 and beyond

If you want to hear directly from a key architect of Florida’s conservative agenda—and ask your own questions—don’t miss Blaise Ingoglia on April 10th.

Johanna Neuman
Author, Historian and Award-Winning Journalist
Purchase Tickets

Johanna Neuman is an author, a historian and an award-winning journalist. After a career as a newspaper reporter, covering the White House, State Department and Congress for USA Today and the Los Angeles Times’ Washington bureau, she returned to the academe. Now a PhD in history, she is combining in her books the love of narrative storytelling she learned as a journalist and the skills of archival research she acquired as a historian.
In Gilded Suffragists: The New York Socialites Who Fought for Women’s Right To Vote, Johanna uncovered the identity and explored the motives of more than 200 of the nation’s most fashionable celebrities, chronicling their impact on the campaign to win women that most fundamental marker of citizenship – the right to vote. Publishers Weekly called it one of the top books for fall. One Amazon reviewer wrote, “Johanna Neuman’s Gilded Suffragists is a brilliant—and beautifully written—study of the campaign for women’s right to vote. Neuman deftly illuminates ‘the upstairs long missing from women’s history,’ recovering for the ages the contribution of elite society women to the movement.”
In her new book, Trump’s Superpower: A Historical Novel About the Founding Fathers & One Founding Mother, she brings the founders down from heaven for our 250th birthday. They have amusing encounters with 21st Century Americans – Benjamin Franklin is arresting for misgendering a bearish man named Christina, and George Washington, thanks to modern technology, finally has his teeth fixed. On a more serious note, throughout the book they have an ongoing conversation about whether America 2026 is really the country they meant to leave us. The book is titled Trump’s Superpower because as a student of both history and current political life, Johanna is convinced that President Trump understands that he can only make the country great again if he rescues the founders – and the founding – from a century-long assault by liberal academics and activists.
