About Me

As a Doctor of Health Science and former Fleet Marine Force Navy Corpsman with combat experience, I have lived the challenges of military service and the transition beyond it. Higher education and lifelong learning became my path to resilience, shaping expertise in athletic operations, strength and conditioning, and sports nutrition. I am the creator of the BRAVE Theory and BRAVE Framework, an evidence-based multidimensional model for veteran reintegration that has guided my published works, academic research, and program development. Today, I help professional hockey players perform at their peak on the ice and guide veterans through reintegration and beyond. My journey has led me to publish multiple books, establish the Mindfully Tactical Foundation, and lead a sports supplement company, all driven by a commitment to evidence-based practice and leadership. I believe in the power of mindfulness, strategic training, and resilience to create lasting success.
