In this episode of The Todd Boffo Show, Todd sits down with Colonel (Ret.) Brian “Spiderman” Kamp — a decorated U.S. Air Force officer, F-15C Eagle Weapons School Instructor, and combat pilot whose 32-year career spanned some of the most demanding assignments in military aviation and special operations. With over 4,200 flight hours (including more than 200 in combat) across operations like Desert Storm, Enduring Freedom, and Southern Watch, Brian’s leadership was forged in the crucible of real-world missions.
Known by his call sign “Spiderman,” Brian has led warriors in combat, mentored the next generation of elite pilots, and earned recognition as the USAF Weapons School Instructor of the Year. Today, he continues his mission as an American Airlines pilot and as a mentor with Cru Military Ministry, helping shape lives beyond the battlefield.
In this conversation, Todd and Brian discuss:
- What it takes to lead with courage in high-stakes environments
- Lessons from 32 years in the cockpit of the F-15C Eagle
- The role of faith and family in sustaining a warrior’s heart
- How mentorship transforms both soldiers and business leaders
