This week, we're talking with Navy veteran John Barile about how he went from Navy Sea Air Rescue Swimmer to become a highly successful business owner. After the military, Barile took a dive into business ownership when he opened an EverLine Coatings and Services franchise, which paints parking lots and maintains paved roads in the San Diego area. As veterans always have a story or two, Barile shared some great sea stories from his time as a Navy rescue swimmer.
