ABOUT THE BUNKHOUSE
Some of the hardest battles Veterans face begin after the uniform comes off.
The Bunkhouse creates a place for the conversations that many Veterans
understand but rarely talk about openly.
Host Jon sits down with Veterans from different branches, backgrounds and
generations to talk about anxiety, sleepless nights, anger, guilt, trauma,
transition, mental health, therapy, recovery, identity and the search for
purpose after military service.
These are not polished speeches or surface-level interviews. They are honest
conversations about hitting hard times, climbing back out, finding the right
people, discovering tools that help and realizing that asking for support
does not make someone weaker.
Pull up a chair. You’re always welcome in The Bunkhouse.
MEET THE HOST
JON
Jon went from life as a rodeo cowboy to serving 16 years in the
United States Marine Corps as a Data Systems Engineering Officer.
His military career included three combat deployments to Iraq and
Afghanistan.
During his career, Jon learned that leadership was about much more
than technology and operations. It was about people — listening,
mentoring and helping Marines work through adversity.
Leaving the military brought another kind of challenge. Like many
Veterans, Jon found himself searching for the sense of identity,
mission and purpose that had once come naturally through service.
The Bunkhouse originally focused heavily on Veterans entering IT
and cybersecurity, but Jon ultimately realized that the conversations
about mental health were not a side topic. They were the mission.
Today, The Bunkhouse is dedicated to having the conversations people
are often afraid to have.
