After high school, Hale-Cusanelli enlisted in the U.S. Army Reserves as a human resources specialist.[1] He studied history at a community college.[1] On August 4, 2010, twenty year old Hale-Cusanelli of Freehold Township, New Jersey was charged with the unlawful possession of a weapon and possession of a weapon for unlawful purpose, criminal mischief, and conspiracy.[2] In March 2011, after stabbing his mother's boyfriend in a domestic dispute, Hale-Cusanelli was charged with aggravated assault, possession of a weapon for an unlawful purpose, and unlawful possession of a weapon.[3] The charges were dismissed.[1]
By 2020, Hale-Cusanelli was employed by HBC Management as a civilian security contractor at Naval Weapons Station Earle.[4][1] He held a security clearance.[5][4] Hale-Cusanelli served in the U.S. Army Reserves for 12 years.[4] At the time of the 2021 United States Capitol attack, he was a sergeant in the U.S. Army Reserves working in human resources.[4] In May 2021, he was demoted to private and then had an other than honorable discharge in June 2021.[4]
