Tim joined the Marine Corps in 1993 when he was 17. His father was a retired police officer and his mother was a stay at home mom who raised three boys. His first job in the Marine Corps was aviation ordnance; he assembled bombs, missiles, and rockets. By the time he reached Corporal (E-4), he was an instructor at the 'Schoolhouse.' Upon reenlistment, he made the move to join Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD-bomb squad). The selection process for this job specialty remains rigorous; it is still the only MOS in the Marine Corps that is strictly voluntary, you can quit at any time. EOD school lasts nearly 2 years. Tim was in school when 9/11 occurred waiting on his security clearance to clear.  Receiving his clearance, he was assigned to The Marine Corps Chemical Biological Incident Response Force (CBIRF). While in training there, he was stationed with his younger brother who was also a Marine. His very first mission was to decontaminate Anthrax from a Senator's office, definitely not what he had expected as an EOD specialist. Mr. Colomer was deployed to Iraq in 2006 to support Multinational Forces West. He was the SNCOIC of a small FOB. They had two EOD teams that responded to any situation around the clock. An average day consisted of 10-15 improvised explosive devices, car bombs, booby trapped buildings, and unexploded ordnance. They destroyed tons of enemy weapons and explosive stashes. Tim states, "We worked our asses off, but it felt good that we were keeping our brothers safe." On December 11, 2006, Tim was blown up while in route to an enemy weapons stash. It was was one of the most intense days of his life – it changing him, and his team team forever. He left the Marine Corps in 2007 and started his life as a civilian. As a government contractor, he trained EOD Technicians for almost 7 years. He became a Program Manager for the USMC EOD field and served nearly 2 years at the FBI Explosives United in Quantico, Virginia. When he finished graduate school at the George Washington University, Tim decided to try corporate America. He was recruited to be a Global Explosive Safety Officer for Halliburton Oil. When the oil market crashed, he purchased a franchise that he helped to expand to 8 locations across the US. They had 100 employees, a reality show, and embarked on a heavy Veteran-focused mission only to have his primary investor walk away. This left him to have managerial control over the managers at each location.  This experience gave him valuable skill sets which he has taken to the next stage of his life. Currently, Tim is helping businesses grow by implementing some time-tested business tools, called the Entrepreneurial Operating System (EOS).  His company, Colomer Advisories, is helping corporate leaders and their teams find visionary and business success in today's fast-paced, technological business world.

SOCRS119- Tim Colomer- "Creating Successful Visions"

Tim Colomer leveraged his strengths as a US Marine EOD technician and built a successful business owning a  JDOG Junk Removal franchise.  With admittedly no small business experience, his mastery of small unit leadership learned in the USMC proved to be a key ingredient in his success.  Tim is as inspiring as he is gracious and his thoughts on maintaining a strong sense of military culture at JDOG are worth remembering. Tim continues serve others as an ambassador for the EOD Warrior Foundation. Semper Fi
