Former Australian special forces member and author of military memoir 'undaunted' : motivational speaker

, Obi applied for Special Forces with the Army's counterterrorism unit, TAG (East), a secretive team of divers and commandos tasked with defending the domestic population from harm post-9/11. Admittance to this unit - their failure rate is in the eightieth percentile - was the defining moment of his life, the chance to serve where angels fear to tread and maybe, just maybe, feel worthy of the path less travelled. In 2007, Hugh left the Special Forces and has since pursued a career in private security. He continues to seek adventure wherever it may lie, be it pirate-hunting in the Red Sea or mentoring soldiers in Afghanistan or Iraq.
