Our founder, Nick Wilson, was a police officer for 13 years before medically retiring due to the many injuries sustained on the job. He led many long term investigations, was a SWAT Team Operator, Field Training Officer and worked at a Department of Homeland Security task force investigating terrorism activities. Due to the excessive exposure to trauma, Nick found himself with a PTSI diagnosis which led to self medication to sleep, a DUI and rehabilitation. His story of resiliency and fighting for his life is heartbreaking yet inspirational and is not unique to First Responders. Nick founded The Resiliency Project to break stigmas and give back to our First Responders so no one else has to suffer like he did in silence.
