Volunteer, the teacher in "English speaking club in Odessa" project

My name is Kolton Tolleson.

I am from Texarkana, Texas, a small town on the Texas-Arkansas stateline.

I am a veteran of the United States Navy, and the International Legion of Defense of Ukraine.

Prior to coming to Ukraine I worked as a cowboy in Jefferson County, Montana. I also worked as a security officer at a university in San Antonio, Texas.

I am currently writing a book about my time in the war and my experiences living in Ukraine. In my free time I ride motorcycles and participate in sports shooting competitions. I moved to Odesa in September of 2024.
