MEET TEDDY DANIELS
A Leader Forged by Service and Sacrifice
Teddy Daniels, raised by blue-collar parents—a textile mill worker and brick mason—grew up with grit and determination. Earning a scholarship to Valley Forge Military Academy, he shone as a Dean’s List scholar, two-year football captain, MVP, and High School All-American. At West Virginia University, he starred as a starting guard on the nationally ranked Mountaineer football team, forging a foundation of leadership and resilience.
Teddy served nearly 15 years in law enforcement, excelling in narcotics, investigations, and special weapons, earning the 2002 Officer of the Year award and rising to Deputy Chief of Police. At 35, he enlisted in the U.S. Army, serving in Afghanistan, where he survived multiple gunshot wounds as a team leader. Awarded the Purple Heart and Combat Infantry Badge, Teddy’s courage reflects his commitment to protecting our nation.
Transitioning to business, Teddy built a company, took it public, and sold another. A staunch Trump supporter, he served on Trump’s campaign team, gifting him his Purple Heart. A vocal advocate against government overreach, he appeared on Newsmax, OAN, and Tucker Carlson’s show. Living in Manteo with his wife, Briana, and their children, Teddy is dedicated to safeguarding our community’s values and future.
