LOS ANGELES  – Maximum Warrior is a one-of-a-kind competition that tests 10 active or former military and 10 civilian contestants in 15 action-packed, adrenaline-filled challenges. United States Marine Corps Platoon Sergeant Mike S., originally from Maui, Hawaii and currently stationed at Camp Pendleton in Southern California, competed in the competition against nine other special ops operators, with one ultimately being crowned the Maximum Warrior.

The competition tested the marine’s military skills, quick decision-making ability and all-out physical stamina.

The Maximum Warrior competition was hosted in Crawfordsville, Ark., at a special elite training facility called T1G. This program is sponsored by MAXIM, in partnership with the Jeep® Brand. Maximum Warrior is a unique program in that in addition to the active duty competitors, the competition also pairs the military warrior contestants with ordinary civilians, who then battle it out against nine other teams.

Platoon Sergeant Mike S. is making himself available for interviews via telephone and/or Skype interviews in the Hawaii area. This is a great story of a local guy gaining national attention. The Maximum Warrior show pays homage to the men and women in the Armed Forces and Mike would like to share his story.

“Maximum Warrior is about authenticity. For the second year in a row, MAXIM has teamed with the Jeep brand to develop the world’s most innovative and interactive military-inspired competition. Not only do we deliver a real-life series of challenges for the competitors, but the competition is also a tribute to our men and women serving in the Armed Forces, and especially to our special ops operators,” said Ben Madden, MAXIM’s Chief Revenue Officer. “There is simply no other reality-based competition that allows for the highest ranks of the military to interact at this level with civilians.”
