Phase Two - Candidate

About Me

Troy is a husband, father of two, and a 16-year veteran of Navy Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD). He has served in multiple areas around the world and is a proud member of his military community.

Amidst the often adrenaline-fueled missions and rigorous training, Troy never lost sight of what truly mattered to him: his family. His wife, Amanda, has been his rock, providing unwavering support and understanding throughout his deployments and challenging assignments. Together, they have raised two wonderful children, William and Emma, doing their best to instill in them the values of integrity, compassion, and resilience.

As Troy approaches the end of his military service, he is preparing to embark on a new chapter in his life: a career in counseling. Inspired by his own experiences navigating the complexities of military life, including deployments, transitions, and the impact of trauma, and witnessing the effects of trauma on his colleagues and family members, Troy is determined to use his unique perspective and skills to support others in their journey towards healing and resilience.

Troy is currently enrolled in the Master of Arts in Clinical Mental Health Counseling at Liberty University.
