Former, and retired, US Army Explosive Ordnance Disposal Specialist (Bomb Squad) who completed 2 tours to Iraq where I was injured while conducting route clearance missions in 2006; an event that has forever changed my life. I’m an advocate for all veterans and survivors of Post-Traumatic Stress Recovery and use my story to inspire and motivate audiences in all professions to include churches, schools, real estate conventions, and business symposiums as a professional keynote speaker. I’m also the host of The Phillip D. Blackmon Show where I cover mental health, news, politics, and social issues happening across the nation.
