Green Beret (Ret.), Founder of OSS2 Shooting & Survival
JD brings a lifetime of operational experience, leadership, and deep human insight to Project Mindful Warrior. A retired Green Beret and founder of OSS2, JD has spent decades training, advising, and mentoring others in high-performance and high-pressure environments.
His presence in this project isn’t just tactical—it’s deeply personal. Having gone through the Mindful Warrior experience himself, JD understands the quiet struggles veterans and operators often carry after service, and what’s needed to walk the path home with integrity, strength, and clarity.
He now serves as a trusted advisor and mentor to help shape the program, bridge the language of warriors and seekers, and ensure we continue to honour the mission—both in spirit and delivery.
