I sat in that dark, silent house, bottle in one hand, pistol in the other.
The cold steel against my skin felt final, absolute.
I loaded the weapon, took a deep breath, and pulled the trigger.
Click.
The sound echoed in the stillness.
I sat there, stunned. Staring at a weapon that should have ended my life, yet somehow… hadn’t.
It was as if God had reached out and intervened. As if the universe refused to let me go.
That moment wasn’t just a failure to end my life. It was a turning point. A whisper in the darkness telling me:
You are still here for a reason.
For years, I carried burdens too heavy to bear.
War had shaped me.
Discipline had hardened me.
Loss had nearly broken me.
And yet, I was still here.
Not just to survive, but to serve.
Not just to fight, but to heal.
Not just to exist, but to lead others out of their own darkness.
Golf became more than a game.
It became a way to rebuild. A way to breathe again. A way to heal in the open air, one swing at a time.
From that rebirth, Warrior Golf Academy was born.
A place where veterans and first responders find more than just a sport.
They find purpose.
They find brotherhood.
They find faith.
Isaiah 40:31
"But those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint."
Your story isn’t over.
No matter how far you’ve fallen, no matter how heavy the burden, there is always a way forward.
Take a step.
Join us.
One swing at a time. 🫡
