Through faith and resilience, Mike transforms his deepest wounds into wisdom, proving that even in our darkest moments, we can choose to grow and give meaning to our pain.

Mike is writing a memoir about post-traumatic growth through military service in Afghanistan and Iraq, surviving a helicopter collision and parachute accident, and losing his beloved daughter Rosie. Each tragedy deeply affected him, but through faith and family, he found meaningful life through growth. While nothing can replace Rosie, Mike works to make her loss meaningful by sharing how to move forward when it does not seem possible.
