Terry L. Fossum in Kicking & Screaming (2017)
Terry L. Fossum was born in Mission, Tx and grew up in McAllen, Tx, where he became an Eagle Scout. He attended McAllen High School and McAllen Memorial High School. He received a degree in Mechanical Engineering from Texas A&M University where he was a Cadet Major in the Corps of Cadets.

After obtaining a commission as an officer in the United States Air Force, he became the Adjutant for the 325th Bombardment Squadron, and the Executive Officer for an entire group of Nuclear B-52 aircraft, the 92d Operations Group. He was named Officer of the Year at Fairchild Air Force Base, Humanitarian of the Year for Strategic Air Command, and Distinguished Graduate of Squadron Officers' School.

After receiving an Honorable Discharge as a Captain, he became a multi-million dollar earner in direct marketing, setting up and directing sales organizations around the globe.

After marrying into 3 teenage and preteen boys, he retired from business to focus on putting together "the most important thing in my life, my family."

During this time, he wrote and published several books, video and audio series, focusing on self-improvement 'while the boys were at school.'

He has had adventures literally around the globe including:

. Solo trek deep into the Arctic Circle, befriended by the Inuits, invited on caribou hunt, eaten alive by literally millions of mosquitos. Not as much fun as it sounds. . Survival in the Amazon Jungle: Swam in piranhas-infested waters, pulled over 100 ticks off, ate bugs. Also not that much fun. . Canoe expedition deep into the Quetico. Also eaten by millions of mosquitos. Seems to be a recurring theme. . Rwanda: Climbed the mountains searching for elusive Silverback gorillas (& found them) . Solo treks into the far reaches of Death Valley (almost lived up to its name), Badlands of South Dakota (they're called that for a reason), Joshua tree, mountains/rivers of Montana, Idaho, Washington, several deserts in Utah, etc. with temperatures ranging from -20 to 100++ . Malawi, Africa: Foot, boat and vehicle safari in the Mvuu region, plus traveled to the far-outlying villages to check on philanthropic projects, teaching farming techniques (has saved countless lives) . Developed a completely off-grid log cabin on top of a mountain in the middle of absolutely nowhere, Montana . Won Kicking & Screaming Survival/Teamwork Reality Competition against special forces members, military survival instructors, a mercenary, 4th-degree black belt ninja, more . History Channel Casting Director's choice to host a new adventure show

He was featured on the television series Kicking and Screaming (2017) on Fox, which he won.
