Episode 39 - Russell Davies (Army, OIF, OEF Veteran)
Host Tim K. sits down in Pocatello, Idaho with former Army Sergeant Russell Davies, four years after their first conversation for The Veterans Project. Davies is the founder of Professional Transformation Sports Development (PTSD), a non-profit that was built around his passion for extreme sports and helping veterans transition into an outdoor lifestyle. On the podcast, Russ discusses his journey into the world of all things adrenaline from a rough-and-tumble Idaho youth to his time as an infantry squad leader in the Army’s famed 101st Airborne Division. Davies also shares about some of his most difficult moments in combat and his own struggles in transition; as well as what led him to his path in helping other veterans get into extreme sports.
