Rodell had numerous roles in the US Military/Government. Some examples include: Logistics Maintenance and Operations Commander, Senior Fighter Pilot/Senior Instructor Pilot, Special Operations Ground Combat Commander, Chief BALO/JTAC, Acting Senior Advisor to the Iraqi General Staff, and Life Support Commander.

Rodell founded his own multi-series, multi-state private business in 2001 and continues on as the Executive Director/CEO and Chief Consultant through present day. He typically enjoys General and Executive Management the most, but has consulted on a vast array of projects everywhere from small business startups and family financial planning to being given control of approximately $1Billion to build the Iraqi Air Force, from the ground up, with his teams.

Thanks to the encouragement of his mother and his first minister, Rodell has been an active student and sharer of metaphysical knowledge since a very early age. He was raised in a Western Methodist Church, surrounded by a community of multiple religions and ethnicities from across the world. Combined with an outstanding Public Education System with some of the best students, teachers, coaches, and staff that a person could hope for, Rodell was exposed to a much larger world and encouraged to study things that he didn't understand.

After it was discovered that military members/students/cadets were being mentally, emotionally, and physically abused for not attending church services at the US Air Force Academy, Rodell propositioned senior leaders and was given special status in 1994 as an Acting All-Faiths Chaplain in the US Air Force. Appointed by the Head Chaplain at the US Air Force Academy, Rodell created a program where any person who wanted to attend his all-faiths service (which is actually the core intent of any US Military Chaplain) would be freely welcomed. In addition, he worked out a deal with the Protestant, Catholic, and Jewish Chaplains (as well as the Islamic group, which did not have a Chaplain in residence at the time) where any interested person could freely attend service and be able to ask questions of the Chaplains involved... without fear of social retribution or threat of forceful conversion.

Rodell's quest to understand the history of religion, civilizations, and humanity has driven him to seek knowledge in the best of academic institutions and his search for spirituality (within and external to religion) has sent him all over the world and down many fascinating paths. He furthered his spiritual studies by completing the Seminary Course sponsored by the University of Florida and the Unitarians in 1998-1999 in Tampa, Florida. He graduated, but chose not to take ordination at the time. He did continue his role as an Acting All-Faiths Chaplain between combat missions with JTF 1-501 in the Khowst region of Afghanistan in 2003-2004, recognizing that the true role of the Chaplain was to provide spiritual support to all people, despite religious labels… after all, the physical bombs/bullets didn't care if they were hurting a Christian, Pagan, Heathen, Buddhist, or non-believer, etc. Rodell continued his studies, bringing him to places like the Monroe Institute and Remote Viewing Classes (RVIS Inc.) and amazing scholars/teachers/mentors like Debra Chesnut of the Four Winds Foundation, Lt. Col/Dr. Smith, Major Eddy, Zecharia Sitchin, Dr. William Buhlman, and Dr. Bart Ehrman (among many others). Rodell found a sense of peace and purpose in these studies, realizing that learning history and truth did not have to change a person's faith. He eventually found the amazing people of the University of Metaphysical Sciences, where numerous required and elective classes were offered to the world concerning things that we should all be thinking more about. Rodell accepted the title of 'Reverend' from the Wisdom of the Heart and earned a Doctorate of Divinity specializing in Spiritual Counseling in 2022. In addition to sending a few more books/articles for publication, Rodell will continue consulting and hopes to open a Spiritual Retreat and Learning Center in the Sangre de Cristo Mountains of Northern New Mexico.
