Today In The Upper Cumberland Podcast: Foreign Affairs

This week’s rhetoric between the United States and North Korea reminds us that the Communist Regime remains one of the outliers in World geopolitics.

Since an early age, one local man has been interested in just that kind of politics. In fact, part of his military career included time along the North Korea South Korea border. Bryan Payne grew up in Cookeville, graduated from college at the University of Virginia and pursued a career in the US Army. He later worked at the State Department.

Today, in his addition to his work at Industry Mart, Payne remains a member of the US Army….in the reserve counter terrorism unit.
