When Tu was a boy at the age of 4, he and his family fled the communist government of Vietnam in 1979, escaping on an overloaded wooden boat. Escaping Vietnam was a dangerous endeavor. He and his group encountered hostile forces in the South China Sea, and they spent time in a refugee camp in Indonesia before arriving in the United States 24 months after leaving Vietnam.

Tu was raised by his uncle and stepfather, both of whom were in the US Army Special Forces. Tu also joined the US Army Special Forces and deployed numerous times with US Special Operations Command before retiring as a decorated Green Beret with almost 23 years. Tu is an entrepreneur and is now the Founder and CEO of Ronin Tactics, Inc., where he teaches and develops tactical equipment for civilian, law enforcement and military personnel. He is an internationally respected teacher of Ronin Tactics. Tu has hosted “Knife or Death” on the History Channel and is featured in various magazines and articles. He is the inspiration for the character of “Ronin” in the video game “Call of Duty: Modern Warfare. As an author, Tu has published his memoir in "The Way of Ronin”.

Tu Lam enjoys traveling around the world with Ruthie, his wife of 24 years, and together they continue to pursue his pursuit to develop men and women, and to motivate them to excellence through self-development.
