Blog – My Why

Being retired from the US Navy I have seen my share of fellow military members who needed help after experiencing only what one can call a normal day in the life of someone enlisted in the military.

I feel like Warriors Heart came into my life just when I needed it to.

Warriors Heart is a special place and I knew it as soon as I set foot on the property. This place is all about excellence and passion and it shows in every detail—from front to back.

My Why is simple: to find the key to unlock and release any and all pain associated with PTSD.

Being a family member that lost my brother, Sgt. Bobby Gene Swanson, Jr. in Vietnam, I feel that God has allowed me to come full circle, and give back by serving the men and women who sacrifice every day to give us our freedom.

My Why? Our Veterans and First Responders deserve the absolute best for their sacrifices.

I spent much of my youth wondering what I wanted to do with my life. When I graduated high school, I felt like I had a world of possibilities and all that I had to do was make a decision. I knew that I wanted to get married, have a family, graduate college and make a lot of money. What I failed to realize was that my goals were impossible to achieve because I chose to drink alcohol nearly every day.

Our Military, Law Enforcement, Firefighters, First Responders, and Civilian Warriors make great sacrifices for our country every day. They experience traumatic events which the regular public simply can’t understand. That’s why I feel passionately that our Warriors should be receiving the support they deserve so they can continue serving our country in whatever capacity they choose. I am humbled and honored to be with Warriors Heart where I can continue serving my fellow Warriors.
