Jarek L. Reihner (born July 19th, 1989) is an American white supremacist, antisemitic conspiracy theorist, U.S. Air Force veteran, and self-declared neo-Nazi. Reihner was most recently a member of Patriot Front, having likely been recruited from multi-tendency neo-fascist coalition Resist Marxism by Chris Hood. Reihner’s status as a member of other neo-Nazi groups in proximity to Hood, such as NSC-131, is currently unknown.
Reihner went by the alias “Matthias Thorpe” as a member of Boston Free Speech and Resist Marxism. His Patriot Front moniker was likely “James MA,” and his serial number was PF-8190. It is unclear if Reihner is still a member of Patriot Front.
Mark J. Hayden (born November 28th, 2000) is an American white supremacist, failed musician, antisemite, misogynist, and neo-fascist. Hayden is a long-standing member of Patriot Front, and is likely a founding member of the Bay State Active Club.
Hayden is an involved and highly active member in Patriot Front, contributing to their social media presence through his “Patriotic Frontline” Gab account. Media of Patriot Front actions indicate he is physically aggressive, and willing to engage in violence against members of the public disinclined to quietly tolerate the presence of open neo-fascists.
Hayden is originally from Brockton MA. He currently resides in Spencer MA with his wife, in an apartment owned by a former member of Patriot Front. He’s also the older brother of Patriot Front member Jake Hayden, a/k/a “Victor MA.”
His Patriot Front moniker is “Bill MA,” and his serial number is PF-6309. He also goes by several handles, including “Stickbug” as the drummer of his high school band, “Brockton Boxer,” and “weedleboy.”
Robert Thomas Budzyna (born June 18th, 1988) is an American neo-Nazi, convicted violator of a harassment protection order, and alleged arsonist. He was previously an active member of Patriot Front until his 2020 arrests in Tarrant County TX. He was also previously an active member of the Nationalist Social Club of New England until his 2023 arrest in Worcester County MA.
Budzyna, an ex-felon in the midst of several legal actions, is the subject of at least two protective orders in separate states resultant from his stalking of intimate partners and harassment of their families. Court records from three separate Massachusetts court districts indicate that he has not ceased his harassment, even while currently under arrest for the arsons he purportedly committed in 2019.
Budzyna is from Auburn MA, which is where he lives while under house arrest. He seems to have spent some time living in or around Dallas TX, including the 18 months he spent in prison for his harassment order violations.
His Patriot Front moniker was “Peter MA,” and his serial number was PF-2392. His pseudonym as a member of the Nationalist Social Club is “Red Wood.”
Tyler S. Primevara is an American neo-Nazi and former alt-right podcaster. He self-published the overtly neo-Nazi Ascending the Spectrum podcast as “Jack Hoffmen,” and contributed to alt-right conspiracy podcast The Paranormies as “Jack the Intern.” He also posts to alt-right social media sites Gab and Poast under this persona. He was an off-and-on member of Patriot Front from 2019 to 2022. As of 2023, he claims to have renounced white nationalism. There are indications he has shifted to eco-fascism, after appearing in the company of members of the Pine Tree Party, a Mike Ma project, during protests against SatanCon in Boston MA.
Primevara is previously of Framingham MA, and his last known locale of residence is Fitchburg MA. His Patriot Front moniker was “Joe MA,” and his serial number (at least during his 2021-2022 tenure) was PF-366990.
David Andrew Spellman-Oldenquist is an American neo-fascist. Spellman-Oldenquist acted as Network Director for Patriot Front’s Network 7, taking on the role sometime after Chris Hood was expelled from the organization in October 2019.
Spellman-Oldenquist was briefly a plaintiff in Worcester County MA District Court, after accusing Chris Hood and National Socialist Movement member Anthony Petruccelli, among others, of assaulting him in the home of a fellow Patriot Front member during November 2019. Subsequent leaks of Patriot Front internal comms circa 2021, including commentary from other members on the topic of Spellman-Oldenquist’s relationships with women and alcohol, indicate that he lost the position of Network Director.
Spellman-Oldenquist is originally from Ayer MA. His last known locale of residence is Worcester MA.
His Patriot Front moniker is “Marshall MA,” and his serial number is PF-2753.
Jake Hayden, the younger brother of Mark Hayden, can be connected to “Victor MA” by comparing leaked messages to his social media. He likely participated in the July PF March in Boston- one of the vehicles photographed nearby Oak Grove is registered to his mom and matches a vehicle on his social media.
Mark Hayden can be matched to “Bill MA” by comparing leaked chats to his wedding website. He is originally from Brockton MA, graduated from Brockton HS in 2018 and was part of a punk band with extremely misogynistic and racist lyrics. In 2021 he and his fiancee moved to Spencer, MA to rent an apartment from friend and former PF member Matthew Wolf. According to the wedding website he works for “a union”.
Named in release from FSU, charged for Promat there. By cross-referencing this with leaked messages from 2021, he can be identified as “Jim MA”. Matthew previously lived in Rockland, MA and was connected to Boston Free Speech / Resist Marxism.
Sal Mufano grew up in Brockton, MA and participated in defacing a BLM mural in Brockton in 2021. Appeared in a leaked video of PF sparring. IIdentified by Waltham Night’s Watch by comparing leaked messages to public Facebook photos. Leaked messages indicate he lives on Progressive Ave., and public property records show a house on Progressive Ave. in W. Bridgewater is owned by a member of his family.

Brian D. Harwood- “Henry MA” and Network Quartermaster of Patriot Front Network 7
To start off one of many articles exposing members of New England’s Patriot Front membership, let’s give a warm welcome to Brian D. Harwood (born 1997) of Brewster, Massachusetts, who goes by “Henry MA”. Harwood is a Network Quartermaster (NQ) of Patriot Front’s Network 7 (NW7), which encompasses Patriot Front membership from Connecticut, Rhode Island, Massachusetts, Vermont, New Hampshire, and Maine. Patriot Front has been a fixture in the American extreme right movement since late 2017, when it was founded by Thomas Rousseau in the wake of the disastrous Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville, Virginia. A breakoff from the now defunct neo-Nazi group Vanguard America, Patriot Front blended classic Americana nationalism with fascism and neo-Nazism, and in the subsequent years grew to be one of the more significant groups in the American extreme right scene. It is explicitly fascist and white supremacist, and is responsible for a nationwide campaign of white supremacist vandalism, propaganda distribution, and defacement of murals and pieces of public art memorializing victims of police violence, as well as community spaces/art pieces. Organizationally, Patriot Front is split into about a dozen or so regional networks and several clusters of membership, each with their own local leadership. Recently, thanks to the work of anti-fascist researchers, the media collective Unicorn Riot has made publicly available a massive trove of leaked data containing several months worth of chats, private messages, and internal documents, photos, and videos.

Harwood has likely been a member of Patriot Front since late 2019, but it is unclear exactly when he joined. Brian Harwood currently is a leader in Patriot Front nationally, but is more specifically a major leader in NW7. As NQ, Harwood is instrumental in coordinating NW7 with national Patriot Front leadership as well as with other prominent Patriot Front members across the nation. Specifically, Harwood has acted as a liaison between Patriot Front leadership and NW7’s dozen or so members. He is by all indications a significant leadership figure in Patriot Front nationally. Harwood also played a part in Patriot Front’s miserable mid-December march in Washington D.C., leading a small team of shield bearers within the “Screen Right” shield section. Additionally, Harwood helped vet and interview several people who applied to Patriot Front, acting as a “notetaker” for several vetting interviews.

Brian Harwood, as a leadership figure in Patriot Front and NW7, has also participated in a huge number of acts of Patriot Front vandalism and “activism” such as putting up stickers, dropping banners, and putting up Patriot Front graffiti, all with the the aim of antagonizing communities and recruiting. Living in a small vacation town on Cape Cod, Harwood is somewhat disconnected geographically from other Network 7 members, but regularly makes long drives to engage in various Network 7 activities. In the past several months, Harwood has led and participated in numerous actions, such as Patriot Front banner drops in Dover, New Hampshire, Greenland, New Hampshire, Boston and Worcester, Massachusetts and more. Harwood also ran several hand-to-hand combat training sessions for NW7 members, at one of of which he gave a pretty lame lecture about Patriot Front’s manifesto.

Most significantly however, Harwood planned and participated in the vandalism of a Black Lives Matter mural painted on Champion Ice Cream Shop in Brockton, Massachusetts. The mural/buisness was vandalized on December 12, 2021, and according to leaked direct messages, Harwood and “Philip MA” extensivly discussed targeting and vandalizing the mural. As if that were not conclusive enough, Harwood even distributed a detailed document to Network 7 members detailing how they would scout the location and vandalize the mural. This comes from a long trend of Patriot Front members targeting murals, community spaces, and public displays that memorialize people murdered by police, promote values of racial or sexual liberation, or otherwise go against Patriot Front’s racist, neo-fascist worldview. This is one of Patriot Front’s most recent tactics used to terrorize and intimidate communities, as well as gain attention in mainstream media. Exposing acts like this and the people behind them are integral to defending communities against further attacks as well as to making sure members of Patriot Front and other neo-fascist groups know there will be consequences to openly trying to terrorize communities.
