Jon Dorsey

Associate Producer, American Heroes Channel

Former Air Force Security Forces officer Dorsey found a new calling at Discovery, where he helped transition Military Channel into AHC and now helps fill its pipeline. He works as an associate producer on record-breaking series’ “Against the Odds” and “Gunslingers,” and helped bring doc “Surrender: The Fall of the Reich” to an American audience.  He also serves as co-chair of the internal employee resource group Discovery Veterans Assn. No surprise, the habit he thinks makes him most successful? “Passion for the historical and military content I work with everyday.”
