Episode # 17 Guest: Matt Klein, Retired NYPD Sketch Artist, Owner of Battle Tribe Art & Apparel

The Disruptors with Brian Sanders

You’ve seen him on Dateline and countless other news outlets for his work with the NYPD. We chat with our buddy, Matt Klein (NYPD detective and creator of BATTLE TRIBE merchandise)

We jump right in on this one and hear how Matt, armed with a pencil, helped solve a 1976 cold case in NYC, worked an entire career with the NYPD to include patrol, special assignments, and his promotion to detective, survived multiple shootouts and explosions while serving in the US Army infantry during deployments, and his years working hundreds of cases creating composite drawings of suspects leading to their arrests. He is also the creator of the incredible BATTLE TRIBE merchandise line which has sold over 40,000 units and chances are you’ve passed someone on the street or seen a friend on social media sporting his attire. Matt is the epitome of PMA and a great example of using your skillset to build a company, serve your community, and live a life of purpose.
