Kory’s involvement with Building Mufasas stems from witnessing how structured training, accountability, and strong mentorship transform young men preparing for the world’s most demanding military roles. Having personally guided hundreds of SEAL candidates through the crucible of First Phase training, he recognized that these same principles of discipline, faith, physical resilience, and character development could address the crisis facing America’s youth.

With a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology (Summa Cum Laude) and a Master’s in Executive Leadership (with Distinction) from Liberty University, Kory combines psychological insight with proven leadership methodologies. He is currently pursuing a PhD in Business Administration and has developed “The Conviction Protocol,” a comprehensive mental preparation program integrating psychological frameworks with faith-based principles.

Kory’s work with Building Mufasas represents his commitment to equipping young people with the discipline, skills, faith, and character needed to overcome adversity and serve something greater than themselves.
