Twenty years on the frontline of humanitarian work in seventy plus countries. I write, speak, and advise on trauma-informed leadership, mental health, and duty of care for the people who carry the weight of crisis.
The expertise pillars are not separate careers. Each one informs the others. The security work shapes how I write. The writing shapes how I speak. The lived experience shapes all of it.
Crisis management, operational safety, and duty of care for humanitarian teams. Current role with WUSC. Past work with World Vision, IRC, CARE International, and Food for the Hungry. Harvard Humanitarian Response Intensive graduate.
Books on military trauma, male survivors, resilience, and duty of care. Direct, lived, and practical. Written for the people inside the silence and the leaders responsible for them.
Speaking on BPD, PTSD, stigma, systemic reform, and trauma-informed leadership. Audiences include humanitarian organizations, veteran-serving groups, and media. Practical, not performative.
The mission is simple. Break down stigma. Save lives. Build a world where mental health is treated with the same urgency as physical health.Author’s note
Three books trace the path from before the uniform, through silence, and into service. The operational guides build from that lived experience.
Origins. What the silence looked like before there were words for it. The years that shaped everything that came after.
Direct testimony on military sexual trauma, male survivors, and the systemic failures that keep people quiet. Now available on Amazon.
A completed memoir on finding purpose after exile, and on turning trauma, field experience, and service into a path forward.
A practical guide for organizations that need to protect people before, during, and after crisis. Built for leaders, security focal points, and duty-of-care teams.
A new work in progress on the lessons humanitarian field experience teaches about resilience, leadership, care, and the people asked to carry crisis.
