Rising Through Chaos: An Unbroken American Odyssey Hardcover – September 3, 2025

From humble beginnings in upstate New York to the dangerous waters of the world’s oceans, from institutional abandonment to the quiet strength discovered through poetry and faith — Rising Through Chaos: An Unbroken American Odyssey is my unflinching testimony of a life forged by trial and transformation.My journey spans isolation and loss, ten years of service in the United States Navy across Europe, the Atlantic, and the Pacific, unjust separation, and the exhausting wars waged against bureaucracy. It is a long road through disillusionment with systems that were meant to protect, but too often failed.
