After 19 years of service in the French Armee de Terre, I retired from the 1RIPMA (SAS) in 2018. I now work as a consultant for Executive Close Protection, Risk Assesment, Fire Arms Handling, and coaching young military prospects in France and around Europe. Living with PTSD during my last few years of service, I am an advocate for speaking out about the harsh realities faced by our soldiers; and the need for better support from within. Most importantly, we need to talk more about Post-traumatic Growth or PTG, giving our soldiers and their families a greater sense of hope, renewal, and progress.Would you like to work with me?
