Travis Haley?

I was browsing some videos on Military.com and came across this one:

Blackwater Sniper Engages Insurgents | Military.com

Kinda looks like Travis Haley.

Opinions?

Yep, the 2004 Blackwater Al Najaf video pretty much made Travis Haley's career. He founded Simply Dynamic, Inc., upon returning home and separating from Blackwater, and the rest is history.

A couple years after the incident, Blackwater gave all the involved shooters commemorative AR lowers; Travis used his to build an exact duplicate of the rifle he had used on that rooftop.

Is there a good biography of Travis Haley anywhere? I can't find one with my Googlefu.

The only official one I'm aware of is (was) the one posted on Magpul Dynamics' website:
