Today on Change Agents, Andy Stumpf sits down with Vincent "Rocco" Vargas, in an interview recorded in L.A.

Vincent Vargas is a special operations combat veteran (2nd Ranger Battalion, 75th Ranger Regiment), actor, writer, and producer. After his time in the military and a stint as a prison guard, he became a BORSTAR Agent – a member of the Border Patrol Search, Trauma, and Rescue Unit attached to BORTAC, the Border Patrol Tactical Unit.
