Working Class Audio #232 with Buddy Lee Dobberteen!!!\nBuddy Lee Dobberteen grew up in a small town in Michigan. He got into playing guitar at a young age and was always fascinated with music but never really pursued it because he was too busy playing sports. He did an electrical internship all through school and after graduation began doing side gigs wiring houses but had always dreamed of something more. In early September of 2001, Buddy joined the Marine Corps and went in as an infantryman. In 2002 he was deployed to the Middle East and soon after participated in the Iraq war.\xa0Three tours later, Buddy got out of the Marines and was labeled 100% disabled. After a series of events, he started the nonprofit Pathfinders Outdoors: His Little Studio & Mentoring. His goal was to help fellow vets via mentoring, learning audio and music as well as hunting and fishing together.\xa0Buddy and his team have had over 300 Mentoring Sessions since January 2019 and continue to grow and help fellow vets who require help.\nLinks and Show Notes:\nPathfinders Outdoors /His Little Studio and Mentoring. https://bit.ly/3196UHQ\nCurrent sponsors & promos: https://bit.ly/2WmKbFw\nWorking Class Audio Journal: https://amzn.to/2GN67TP\n\nCredits:Host: Matt Boudreau\xa0Guest: Buddy Lee DobberteenWCA Theme Music: Cliff Truesdell\xa0Announcer: Chuck SmithEditing: Anne-Marie Pleau & Matt BoudreauAdditional Music: The License Lab
