Our Founders

Tony Wilcox

Tony loves the outdoors including fishing, hiking, camping and cycling.  He is an accomplished author, musician and songwriter.  By day he works in the media industry and helps direct the ministry with the entire team at Bulletproof Strong.

TONY WILCOX

 

Tony’s vision of “Bulletproof Glass” at the beginning of his recovery journey was the catalyst for the Bulletproof Strong ministry.  His personal mission is to lead other men in recovery and deepen their relationship with Jesus.  Tony, his wife Celeste, their family and Gunny the Wonder dog live and play on the “Wholehearted Farm” in Southern California.  

Mike Salladin

 

Mike loves to fish, hunt and hike and he totally geeks-out on chemistry and math.  He has six kids, two grandkids (and counting) and two dogs.  His company creates glue for airplanes and rockets…and we all think that’s pretty darn cool.  

MICHAEL SALLADIN

 

Mike and his cousin Tim (McHargue) started our first small group meeting years ago.  What started as a typical men’s “bible study” had grown into today’s Bulletproof Strong ministry.  Mike has a heart for caring for the broken men and families we are entrusted with.  He is an accomplished business owner, church elder and leader.  Mike, his wife, children and grandchildren live in Southern California.

Tim McHargue

 

Tim loves dirt bike riding, hiking, camping (napping while Tony & Mike fish!) and spending time with family.  He’s a pro fire fighter (Fire Chief, Colton, CA) and is (supposedly) pretty good at fixing stuff.  He and his wife, Leandra and children live on the “Broken Wind Ranch” in So. Cal.

TIM McHARGUE

 

Tim is the tip of the spear in our men’s group meetings. He has a reputation for straight, honest talk about addiction, recovery and restoring marriages with our guys.  He’s a respected community leader and involved in many different community causes.  His powerful testimony and love for the Lord is evident in the way he manages himself, his work and his family.  

Dan Arone

 

 

Dan loves the outdoors, hiking big mountains (Whitney a couple of times now), fishing, riding dirt bikes and hanging out with his sons.  He’s an experienced small businessman, an amazing dad and knows his way around a man’s heart and pretty much anything mechanical. 

DAN ARONE

 

Dan has one of the most tender hearts for God of anyone we’ve known.  His intimate relationship with Jesus is inspiring and infectious.  He loves to share his experience, strength and hope with others to bring them closer to God.  Dan’s counsel is always tender, wise and insightful.
