76 (English): Military to Civilian Transition with Victor de la Flor

Victor de la Flor was born in Passaic, NJ and partly raised in Orlando, FL to Peruvian parents. He decided to join the U.S. Marine Corps at the age of 20 in order to get a change of pace in life and pursue his desire for world travel. He chose the Military Justice job field which he felt would provide him good work experience over time. What was supposed to be a 4-year enlistment, turned into a 20-year Marine Corps career, mainly credited to the exceptional leadership and guidance he’s received. In 2020, Victor took to his art, design, and entrepreneurial skills and invented a uniform item called UnderCoverClip, which is now carried by retail military and tactical stores worldwide. In 2022, he decided to make his passion for art public, when he agreed to do a portrait commission for a friend, which then led to several more art commissions, participation in art shows, presenting at Fleet Week San Diego Art Exhibition, being a featured artist at the Oceanside Museum of Art and now becoming a sponsored artist attending and participating in a veteran and indigenous art exhibition being held in Chicago in 2023.
