Episode 253 - Skip Winter

Skip Winter has been the writer, creator and brand steward for the independent comic book Unit 5 since its creation. He is a graduate of Loyola University of Maryland and has been a marketing professional and brand manager for numerous fortune 500 companies throughout his career. He is a seasoned businessman who is truly known for his ability to “think” outside the box and build brands.

In 2012 while driving home from New York City Skip had a vision and proclaimed he would write a comic book that would become Unit 5. At that time he had no idea that this passion project would become a beacon of hope, honor and a legacy that will never will allow us to forget the “Real Heroes of 9/11.” Nearly 8 years later Skip has surrounded himself with a team of professionals and as he likes to say “people who’s hearts are in the right place.” Skip and his team are ready to bring Unit 5 to the world.
