Dirt Sailor Podcast

Dirt Sailor features a father/daughter duo who are both Navy veterans. Mark completed his time in the Navy as a Gunner‘s Mate attached to a Seabee Battalion before finding his way to the airline industry where he currently works as one of the base supervisors. He was born in Southern California and lived there for 15 years before his family moved to the Central Valley.

Shannon was born in the Central Valley after Mark completed his first enlistment. Following in her father‘s footsteps, Shannon enlisted in the Navy in 2004 and was stationed in Pensacola, Florida, before a bad surgical outcome left her unable to continue her service in the military. She finished her bachelor‘s degree and began working for the U.S. federal government for over a decade in the immigration field.

Mark and Shannon are 2nd and 3rd generation born Americans. They come from a long line of agricultural workers, where Shannon is the first in her family not to have worked the fields. Unfortunately, she also has a black thumb. Mark and Shannon have been shaped by their time in the military, time working for the government and in the airline industry. Join them as they discuss topics relevant to society today, and how the perspective of the everyday person is important and breathes fresh air into the stale news cycle of our lives.
