Dark Horse

/ˌdärk ˈhôrs/

noun

noun: darkhorse

a competitor about whom little is known but who unexpectedly succeeds. 

(New American Oxford Dictionary)

Darkhorse is my tribute to the men and women who shaped my life, the Marines I served alongside, and the friends I lost along the way.

It’s drawn from harrowing, brutally honest accounts of combat, quiet moments of reflection in the face of failure, and a call to action for what comes next. Within these pages, you’ll find pain, resilience, leadership, and the kind of hard-earned lessons only war can teach; lessons that ultimately point to something deeper: hope.

Darkhorse is about people. About trust built through vulnerability. About the brotherhood that endures beyond the battlefield. And about one question that still keeps me up at night: How do we leave it better than we found it?

Join me on this journey, and harness the hidden potential of becoming a Darkhorse.
