JOHN S. YOUNG

Born in Atlanta, GA, in 1983, John enlisted in the US Army in 2004 as a Combat Medic. During his military career John was assigned to the 101st Airborne, the 160th Special Operations Aviation Regiment, Joint Special Operations Command and the 1st Special Warfare Training Group. After many stressful and high risk training events, over 38 months deployed to combat zones and over 1400 flying hours, John developed an anxiety and panic disorder.
