Beau Dooley is from Oklahoma and was born into a small-town family with a rich heritage in military service to our nation during times of war. Beau graduated high school in May of 2001 right before the historic 9/11 attacks, which motivated him to join the United States Army. Beau found his passion for writing accidentally when he tried to use the written word as a healthy outlet for mental health issues relating to post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). He retired from the 7th Special Forces Group in early 2022 and now spends his time helping other people discover their own voices on paper and advocating for mental health reform concerning veterans and their families. He also speaks professionally to private and corporate civilian groups regarding teamwork, awareness, and resilience.
