I found this short bio:



Mr. Donatelli has been involved in the Special Operations Community for over twenty years. After spending four years in the 1st Ranger Battalion, Mr. Donatelli decided to get out and explore the civilian world. He became a Washington D.C. police officer where he served five years working the D.C. streets during its peak of crime, violence, and drugs. Mike worked in a patrol car, plain clothes, and prostitution details. While serving the community as a police officer, he decided to re-engage and to serve his country once again. Mike re-entered the service joining the Special Forces as an 18C (Engineer Sgt).
