Once a Warrior

In this memoir, Jake Wood recounts his journey from serving as a Marine sniper in Iraq and Afghanistan to co-founding Team Rubicon, a disaster response organization.

After witnessing the high rate of suicide among his fellow veterans, Wood sought to provide a new mission and sense of purpose.

Following the 2010 Haiti earthquake, he organized a humanitarian mission that eventually grew into Team Rubicon, which has recruited over 100,000 volunteers to respond to various disasters.

The book highlights the challenges faced by veterans transitioning to civilian life, the importance of finding new purpose, and the impact of Team Rubicon in providing aid and hope to communities in need.
