When military members leave the military behind, many of them succumb to depression and a lack of self-validation.

This is why Joseph Crisp built a business that carries the military’s discipline forward, and gives many veterans a meaningful place to continue serving.

As the Founder and CEO of Huntsman Transport, Joseph runs a company that transports prisoners and operates with the rigor and structure of a tactical unit. With over a decade of service in the Marine Corps and Army, including deployments to Afghanistan and time on the White House ceremonial team, Joseph has used everything he learned in uniform to reshape the extradition industry. 

Joseph has faced IEDs, firefights, and the heartbreaking loss of fellow service members. And now, in a different kind of battlefield, he’s leading a team of veterans across the country, proving that military service doesn’t end with discharge.

From Uniform to CEO: A Mindset That Never Changed

Joseph was raised in Oregon by a father who served as a pastor for over 30 years. He grew up with a strong moral compass and that background would shape how he approached everything, from his enlistment to his current role as CEO.

After high school, he joined the Marine Corps and quickly rose through the ranks. He deployed to Afghanistan twice, operated alongside the 1st Raiders Group, and survived two IED blasts. His skill and resilience earned him multiple honors and the chance to serve at the White House, overseeing military ceremonies and honors across the country.

But it was what happened afterwards that shaped the direction of his life. More than half of his original platoon was lost to suicide. Close friends. Mentors. Brothers in arms. Joseph knew he couldn’t just watch it continue. He had to do something.

Huntsman Transport: A Veteran-Run Force

Joseph launched Huntsman Transport with a simple goal: bring military standards to what his business does: secure prisoner transport. It started with a small team, and now it is a nationwide operation with a zero-fail reputation.

Huntsman is built on the very structure Joseph mastered during his service:

• Discipline-first: Every transport is executed like a mission: clear planning, sharp timing, no excuses.
• Veteran-staffed teams: From Special Ops veterans to former Army NCOs, the team is experienced, reliable, and calm under pressure.
• Full compliance, full focus: The company operates 365 days a year by land and air, with vehicles equipped for security, tracking, and safety.
• No room for error: Their “zero-fail” policy isn’t just a marketing line; it’s a standard set by Joseph himself.

The company is trusted by agencies across the country, and its services range from state-to-state extradition to complex international transports.

Mistakes concerning prisoner transport can have serious consequences. Joseph has created a team that doesn’t flinch.

Leadership That Looks Like the Military Because It Is

One of the reasons Huntsman stands out is because of how Joseph leads. His command style mirrors his time in the military: clear hierarchy, high expectations, and no tolerance for sloppiness. But there’s also deep respect.

Team members describe a working culture that feels like a second deployment, without the danger, but with all the structure and camaraderie.

From Jonathan Harrell, a 23-year veteran infantryman, to Chance Roark, a fellow combat vet and Director of Operations, Huntsman is more than a job. It’s a return to purpose.

Bigger Than Business: A Personal Mission

Huntsman Transport is incredible in its own way. As a mission-driven operation built on military principles, the company provides secure prisoner transport across county, state, and even international lines.

With a fleet of fully equipped vehicles, GPS tracking, and strict compliance protocols, Huntsman ensures safety and accountability throughout the entire journey, from pickup to drop-off.

Joseph built Huntsman with his best friend, Chance, and his wife, Robyn. Together, the three of them form a leadership team that reflects strength, strategy, and loyalty.

Joseph and Robyn are a true power couple. Together, the Crisps have a clear-eyed vision, discipline, and refusal to lower the standard that keeps the engine running.

Summary

Joseph Crisp took everything he learned from war zones and ceremonial halls and built a company that serves on its own frontlines. Huntsman Transport runs operations… not just moves prisoners. It’s fast, safe, and secure.

And most of all, it’s ridiculously structured.

Through honor and an unbreakable mindset, Joseph is redefining what leadership looks like in private security and transport. He’s shown that the mission doesn’t end when the uniform comes off. In fact, for him, and the company he built, it’s only just begun.
