Our Team

Logan Shiflett
President

My name is Logan Shiflett and I currently live in Cromwell, MN. I became involved with the Wounded Warriors United Headquarter organization in 2013. I started with a motorcycle rally fundraiser and eventually raised enough money to take Veterans on a guided snow goose hunt. Since then, with a lot of help from local communities and fellow service members I’ve been able to organize a board and make MN an official chapter, of which I now serve as President.

I enlisted in the Army in October 2005 and Ets'd in 2018 as a SSG with a primary MOS of 19D (Cavalry Scout). I enlisted in the Air National Guard the next day as a weapons loader on F'-16 fighter jets. With two tours overseas and over 17 years of experience I understand what Veterans really want and what they enjoy doing.

Growing up in a small town I came to love the outdoors. My forte is waterfowl hunting. Waterfowl hunting separates itself from other types of hunting because a group can have the ability to talk, laugh and bond while sitting in a blind or a field.

I love to organize and plan events for Veterans. Since we started our MN chapter, we have been fortunate to help over 500 Veterans to date from MN get into the outdoors.

Theodore Johnson
Vice President

My name is Ted Johnson and I was born, raised and now live in Duluth, MN. In 1996 I joined the United States Marine Corps and spent 4 years active duty as an Infantryman(0351 line company), stationed at Camp Pendleton, CA and 29 Palms, CA with time overseas in Okinawa and Japan. In 2006 after a break from service I joined the Army National Guard as an Infantryman and later reclassed as a Cavalry Scout during which I served a combat tour in Iraq and Kuwait. In 2012 I left the Army and joined my local Air National Guard unit, the 148th Fighter Wing, and currently serve as a Weapons Loader. On the civilian side I work for Canadian National Railroad as a Carman and split my free time between my wife and two daughters and helping run Wounded Warriors United in our mission to help Minnesota Veterans get into the outdoors.

Warren Stenson
Treasurer

My name is Warren Stenson and I live in Cromwell, MN. I joined the Army in 1989 and left in 1991, am a Desert Storm vet and spent most of my time in Germany. In fact, I was in country when the wall came down. I enjoy hunting and fishing and I am looking forward to helping other veterans enjoy the same.

Ashley Shiflett
Secretary

Hello, my name is Ashley Shiflett & I come from a family of Marine Corps Veterans. My grandfather was enlisted from 1956-1960 & my Father enlisted right out of high school in 1980 & served until 1983. I personally have never joined but the military has played a huge role throughout my entire life. I met my husband in 2012 when he was currently deployed in Iraq finishing up his tour. After his return home we started dating & ended up marrying in 2016. Helping him run this charity he loves so much has been a humbling experience & it has shown me just how strong the bond is between fellow brothers in arms. Our Veterans are incredible people & it is an honor to provide them with outdoor adventures.

Derek Daniels
Board Member

Hello, my name is Derek Daniels. I was born and still live in the Duluth, MN area. I joined the Minnesota Army National Guard in May of 2000. I started my military career as a 63B Light Wheeled Diesel Mechanic, and in 2004 I reclassed to Infantry and deployed as part of Operation Iraqi Freedom. In 2007 I reclassed for a second time to 19D Calvary Scout, and in 2011 I found myself yet again in the Middle East as part of Operation New Dawn. I was previously an Instructor for the Maneuver Senior Leader Couse out of Camp Ripley, MN. I currently am a 1SG in the 1-94 CAV. On the civilian side I work for the Social Security Administration. I got involved with Wounded Warriors United because I fell in love with their mission. I believe that providing wounded vets with an all-inclusive hunting, fishing or other outdoor experience is so powerful, and provides an immediate impact on their lives. I hope to have a positive impact on our team and look forward to spending time with our veterans.
