Biography

Military Career

Enlisting in 2004, Starr was trained as an Electronic Signals Exploitation analyst (formerly 1N5, now 1N2A/C) where he deployed twice and worked in a wide range of missions.

82d Reconnaissance Sq Kadena AB, Okinawa, Japan
- 763rd Expeditionary Reconnaissance Sq Al Udeid AB, Qatar (deployed)
527th Space Aggressor Sq Schriever AFB, Colorado
- CAOC/ISRD Al Udeid AB Qatar (deployed)
566th Intelligence Sq Buckley AFB, Colorado

In 2011 Starr was discharged after being diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder.

Post Military, Art, and Transhumanism

After his discharge, Starr briefly studied at the Art Institute of Colorado and worked odd jobs until his PTSD became too much of an obstacle and he filed for disability. During his three year fight for disability benefits, Starr refocused his life back to art and music, much of which was focused in futurism and struggles with “the system”. This eventually led him to find the US Transhumanist Party in 2016 and immediately related to its forward thinking ideas goals.
