Staff Sgt. Ryan Milliken grew up racing. In fact, you could say it’s in his blood. His father raced motocross and drag raced cars when Milliken was a child. But it is not just his family legacy that has influenced his career as a successful racer and business owner.Milliken served in the United States Air Force as an explosive ordnance disposal technician from 2004 to 2012. “When I was EOD, we were considered adrenaline junkies, and [drag racing] is about as close to an adrenaline rush as we can get.” It’s not just the thrill of the race that has carried over from Milliken’s time in the Air Force. “If I have an IED (improvised explosive device) or a bomb in front of me, in order for me to know how to take it apart, I have to know how to put it together,” said Milliken.“Why it was put together that way. I need to be able to look as something and know how and why it works in order to defeat it.”
