Olin Strader is a seasoned military strategist with experience assisting senior military leaders in developing and implementing a strategic vision for a peaceful opening of the Arctic.

Whether in or out of uniform, Olin's personal ambition is to present concrete ways to contribute to a peaceful and responsible opening of the Arctic.
