Colten Grimm

SSgt (ret) Colten Grimm served 11 years in the United States Air Force as a Security Forces specialist and Military Working Dog handler. Throughout his career, Colten demonstrated exceptional dedication, beginning at Incirlik Air Base, Turkey, where he stood out early during training with top performance scores. Among his proudest moments was providing security support for the President of the United States on four separate missions. Colten enrolled in the Air Force Wounded Warrior Program in 2022 and attended his first event the same year at Peterson Space Force Base. Since then, adaptive sports have played a critical role in his recovery, helping him find a love for archery and regain strength and confidence. The program has connected him with a powerful community of fellow warriors whose shared experiences continue to motivate and inspire him. SSgt (ret) Grimm has had the opportunity to compete at the 2024 and now 2026 DoW Warrior Games representing Team Air Force. For him it is an honor and proves that setbacks do not define his future.
