VISION IN ACTION

The Vision in Action page showcases the initiatives and programs that bring my mission to life, reflecting a commitment to holistic wellness, community impact, and veteran empowerment.

Body Elite KNS

In 2020, I founded BE KNS to provide clean, evidence-based supplements free from proprietary blends and fillers, ensuring full transparency in ingredient sourcing. Leveraging my expertise in athletic operations, strength and conditioning, and nutrition coaching for professional sports teams and tactical athletes, BE KNS has expanded into multiple product lines and is now widely used by local sports teams seeking reliable, high-quality supplementation.

Mindfully Tactical 

I founded the Mindfully Tactical Foundation in 2023 to empower veterans, tactical athletes, and high-stress professionals with holistic strategies for mental and physical resilience. Through virtual programs, workshops, and mentorship, the Foundation fosters a community dedicated to mindfulness, strategic thinking, and personal growth, ensuring individuals can thrive beyond the battlefield and in all aspects of life.

The Building Resilience and Advancing Veteran Empowerment (BRAVE) Framework 

The Building Resilience and Advancing Veteran Empowerment (BRAVE) Framework is a holistic, evidence-based model that addresses the interconnected challenges veterans face during their transition to civilian life by integrating psychological, social, economic, physical, environmental, and cultural dimensions. Grounded in the Biopsychosocial Framework and Ecological Systems Theory, BRAVE emphasizes identity reconstruction and comprehensive support—combining mental health care, vocational training, and community reintegration—to foster resilience, empowerment, and long-term success for transitioning veterans.

The Warrior Empowerment, Lifestyle, and Leadership (WELL) Program

The Warrior Empowerment, Lifestyle, and Leadership (WELL) Program, developed through Doctor of Health Science research and grounded in the BRAVE Framework, provides a comprehensive, evidence-based approach to supporting veterans in their transition to civilian life. By addressing key areas such as physical well-being, mental health, social reintegration, economic stability, and education, the WELL Program transforms theoretical insights into actionable strategies, empowering veterans with the resources and community connections needed for long-term success.

Operation Birthday Cake

Operation Birthday Cake, launched in 2021 in partnership with the Harnett County Food Bank, ensures that no child misses celebrating their birthday by providing all the essentials for a birthday cake, including party favors. Identifying this gap during a school project, I created this initiative to bring joy to families facing food insecurity, making every child's birthday special regardless of their circumstances.
