Anson "NubGunner" Roberts is a U.S. Marine Corps veteran, Purple Heart recipient, motivational speaker, content creator, and brand ambassador who embodies the unbreakable motto: "1 RULE: NEVER QUIT!"
Born and raised in Ohio, Anson joined the Marines seeking direction and served as an 0341 with Regimental Combat Team 6. On April 13, 2007, while deployed in Habbaniyah, Iraq, as part of an EOD security team, his Humvee was struck by a massive IED in a complex ambush.
Trapped in a burning vehicle under enemy fire, he sustained severe 1st-3rd degree burns over 30% of his body, resulting in the amputation of most of his fingers.
Refusing to let his injuries define him, Anson fought through extensive surgeries and recovery, earned a Bachelor's degree in History from The Ohio State University, and rebuilt a life centered on family, service, adventure, and advocacy.
