Chris Fettes, a former Navy SEAL, served for 13 years with SEAL Team 10 and Naval Special Warfare Development Group (DEVGRU), deploying to combat zones in Iraq, Afghanistan and Somalia. During his military career, Fettes developed a passion for making ice cream, often bringing his high-end Italian ice cream machine on deployments. He would create frozen treats for his teammates and even distribute ice cream to local children in war-torn areas.
After leaving the military in 2016, Fettes pursued his passion for ice cream making by enrolling in Penn State University's Ice Cream Short Course. In 2022, he launched Be Free Craft Ice Cream, an artisanal, small-batch ice cream company based in Virginia Beach. Fettes' business pays homage to his military roots with flavors like ‘Cookie Commandough’ and ‘Pointman Pistachio.’ He is currently exploring his next venture of opening a brick-and-mortar shop in Virginia Beach.
