Ed Weaver was born and raised in the Rocky Mountains of Colorado. An avid hunter and fisherman, he found his true love of snowboarding on the slopes of Aspen and Vail. He graduated from Colorado University with an engineering degree.

We a degree in hand, he was accepted to an Aeronautical design apprenticeship with Northrop Grumman. Ed would find himself exercising his degree to new technologies in Air, Defense, Space, and Cyber, which landed him in several Skunk Work projects.

Two things Ed had discovered about himself were that he wasn’t cut out for the politics of the corporate world of fortune 500 companies and his admiration for the test pilot.

He started going up with air crews testing new equipment in the aircraft developing a love of flying. He received his pilot’s license and started learning from the best pilots in the world for whom he was working beside. Soon, he transitioned to rotary-wing aircraft or helicopters, becoming a master aviator in his own right.

After 911, Ed joined the agency with more knowledge of the latest innovations. He soon became the subject matter expert within the Air Branch on tailoring the technology for specific aircraft platforms within Special Activities.

Sherman was born and raised in the beautiful but austere environment of Alaska. As most young boys grew up in that part of the world, hunting and fishing were a way of life.

Sherman expanded his love for the outdoors into bush piloting, starting flying classes at age sixteen. By his seventeen birthday, he had obtained his flying license.

He got his first job as a co-pilot with K2 Aviation while building his hours in various “bush” planes the company had to offer, but he also learned how to glacier land expanding his skill set.

After piloting for four years, Sherman had reached over a thousand hours of flight time, nearing the fifteen hundred mark. On his 21st birthday, he raised his right hand, joining the U.S. Army as a crew chief for six years.

Sherman’s next chapter in the military came as he became a Warrant Officer flying the Apache Longbow attack helicopter during the Global War on Terror. Sherman retired from the military, spending the last fifteen years as a Nightstalker with Task Force 160.

His retirement lasted one day as he took an oath with the CIA Special Activities Division Air Branch.

Bryan started his military career after high school entering service with the United States Army at Fort Knox, Kentucky. After completing the rigorous 16- week courses of Basic Training and Calvary Scout School, Bryan attended college while serving in the National Guard.

During his time in college, Bryan enrolled in the university’s ROTC Program to become an officer. During his summer ROTC Camps, he fell in love with the aviation he was exposed to at Airborne and Air Assault Schools. While at Fort Campbell, Kentucky, he learned of the Special Operations Unit called Task Force 160, commonly known within the 101st Airborne Division as the Night Stalkers.

Bryan knew exactly what his task and purpose would be—known as a partier in his ROTC class. That all changed when he returned to school in the fall of his junior year. Hitting the books hard, he also spent his spare time getting his pilot’s license from the FAA. To many of his friends and classmates, the one word that best describes Bryan is that he was driven.

 Bryan applied himself, graduating with honors by his senior year. After completing the U.S. Army aviation school, he needed to get hours under his belt before applying for the Nightstalker’s. He already knew what it took to be a scout and the tactics used. It was only logical to ask for an assignment in an Air Cav unit.

Bryan was assigned to the 1st Battalion of the 227th Aviation at Fort Hood, Texas. The unit’s history and nickname is “First Attack” because the 1st Cavalry Division was “First into Manila” in February 1945. Major General William C. Chase gave the Division its nickname “First Team” it was well-received and remains today.

While stationed at Ft. Hood, Bryan volunteered for everything to get stick time and qualified for anything that could fly. When his unit was deployed to Somalia, like any good soldier, you wondered if you had all the training needed to do your job and survive.

Knowing his metal was going to be tested. Bryan and his unit flew more than 500 hours on missions. For Bryan, it was his first opportunity to fly alongside the Special Operations pilots of Task Force 160. After that deployment, Bryan was assigned to the Night Stalkers to reach his professional dream job. It wasn’t long before he learned there was an ultra-secret aviation unit within the military and the government. Their job was what made legends within the classified community.

Bryan Daily, aka Roulette 2, had a new goal.
