Lieutenant Colonel (retired) Christopher N. Hatley was born and raised in Dallas, a seventh-generation Texan. At eighteen, in keeping with his Hebrew-Christian values, he enlisted in the U.S. Army, earned an appointment to the United States Military Academy at West Point, and completed his military career thirty years later. He had assignments in combat units, as a trainer, war planner, and general staff officer.

His schools include the Field Artillery Basic Course, Field Artillery and Infantry Advance Courses, Command and General Staff College, and Joint Firepower Control Course. His awards include the Legion of Merit and the Parachutist Badge.

He currently lives in his Greatest State of Texas, where he promotes his Christian conservative values in his fight against globalism and studies Scripture in its original languages to hone his spiritual sword in his fight against Satan.
