Fury is the pseudonym he uses for his writing, since his time in Delta Force, one of the US's most secretive and elite forces, has required him to conceal his true identity.

He made one public appearance, in Hollywood-grade facial prosthetics and colored contact lenses, on "60 Minutes" in 2008 to discuss his role leading the Delta Force mission in the 2001 Battle of Tora Bora intended to eliminate Osama bin Laden, as depicted in his New York Times bestseller, "Kill Bin Laden."
