He served in Operation Iraqi Freedom and Operation Enduring Freedom as a member of a government counter-terrorist unit, planning and conducting a range of direct action special operations missions.
Teti participated in classified direct action missions alongside Tier 1 units, including U.S. Army Delta Force, U.S. Navy DEVGRU (SEAL Team 6), and the Australian and British SAS Regiments. He performed high-risk personal security detail operations in Afghanistan and Iraq for U.S. government and civilian clients and was a member of a U.S. State Department close protection team assigned to government officials and visiting diplomats in Israel, operating out of the U.S. Embassy in Tel Aviv and the U.S. Consulate in Jerusalem.

On the series, he demonstrated survival skills in diverse terrains, including the jungles of Sri Lanka, the glaciers of Norway, and the deserts of Oman. He has been featured on the cover of several magazines as a subject-matter expert on wilderness and urban survival.
A former stockbroker and entrepreneur, Teti authored the book "Lone Operator," which serves as a survival manual for the modern era. The book draws on his special operations experience and offers advice on performing at optimal levels in personal, business, and athletic pursuits. Teti is also the founder of Spartan Americana, a tactical firearms training company providing instruction to citizens, law enforcement, and military personnel, leveraging his combat experience.
