Guest Bio:Dr. Howland was born and raised in Murray, Utah. He developed manual dexterity and a love for the arts through 13 years of piano lessons. Before pursuing his undergraduate degree at the University of Utah, he successfully fulfilled a 2-year church mission to St. Petersburg, Russia. During that time, Dr. Howland was selected as the lead interpreter and coordinator for volunteer efforts in the world-renowned Hermitage Museum. This volunteer effort was during the 300-year celebration of the founding of St. Petersburg as a city, and Dr. Howland further developed a profound love and appreciation for art and the human form as he gave countless tours of the museum.Upon returning from Russia, Dr. Howland embarked on his long pathway of training. He graduated cum laude from the University of Utah with a degree in Business Administration and minors in Chemistry and Russian Literature. This was on top of the difficult pre-med pathway. He was early accepted into medical school at the University of Texas Medical Branch in Galveston, Texas. It was here that Dr. Howland began to do basic science and clinical research in the field of plastic and reconstructive surgery. As a top student in his graduating class, he was accepted among the nation’s top medical students into the highly competitive six-year integrated plastic and reconstructive residency program at the University of Texas Medical Branch in Galveston, Texas.

Guest Bio: (From an Article Featured on Ryortho)Members of the broader orthopedic community are famous for leaping into action when disaster strikes. When earthquakes decimated Haiti, dozens of orthopedists, nurses, and even sales reps and executives volunteered to help. And, without fanfare, hundreds of people in the broader orthopedic community volunteer their time, instruments, implants, machines and other resources to go to remote corners of the world to provide free care to those who need it the most.But the story of Radd Berrett, a 51-year-old retired orthopedic industry executive, is truly one of a kind.Berrett, a single father, had just sold his neuromonitoring company, his orthopedic distributorship and his MRI facility in 2014 and was ready to retire—or at least shift into low gear.But fate had other plans.​​As Berrett told OTW, “I attended a political event with my friend Sean Reyes, who is now the Attorney General of Utah. They had set aside time for a man named Tim Ballard, a former CIA and Homeland Security Agent who had started an international child sex slavery rescue organization—Operation Underground Railroad. (O.U.R. Rescue). After listening to Tim’s compelling stories of children in horrible situations who could indeed be saved, I was hooked.”​A few weeks later Radd Berrett saw a private screening of a film called The Abolitionists. Made by Gerald Molen, the producer of Shindler’s List, the film tells the story of Tim Ballard and his operatives on their first mission. “It ripped my heart out, ” says Berrett. “Over the next few months, I got to know Tim and asked how I could help. ‘Join the jump team, ’ he said.”A jump team is a rugged group of individuals—many of whom are former SEALS, CIA, and FBI agents—who head into situations where children are being trafficked for sex. Radd Berrett: “Seven months later and countless hours of training I am now a member of the ‘jump team.’ I also serve as the Director of Corporate Affairs.”Part rescuer, part actor, Berrett works with the team to set up sting operations to apprehend the traffickers. “We pose as wealthy businessmen who fly in for sex parties. And our people never go into any country without involving the local and/or federal police. This all has to be ‘by the book’ because these people have to be prosecuted. Everything is filmed and our team is all mixed up.”“The trainers always say that they can train us on tactics, but that we have to be in a specific mental ‘space’ in order to go undercover and act like a pedophile. Most of the ex-military guys just want to reach over and rip the trafficker’s head off, so obviously, they have to work through that in order to do follow the script.”“We have decades of combined undercover sting experience. When doing the setups we make it clear to the traffickers that our guys are wealthy, high profile people, and that safety and anonymity are critical. We make sure they know that if any of their people show up with weapons, drugs, or recording devices then the deal is off. Our people pat everyone down, so no one has ever pulled a weapon on us. We have established ‘safe’ words and a ‘panic’ word. And in the end, to preserve our cover, we are handcuffed and thrown to the ground with everyone else. The local and/or federal police then get to take credit for the bust.”According to the organization’s founder, Tim Ballard, “In order to dismantle these trafficking rings, we do our research, coordinate with local authorities, rescue the children, make sure the perpetrators are arrested, and then ensure long-term care for the children. We monitor the prosecutions and engage in the training of local forces so that they are ready for future missions. And because we are a private agency, we are free from the burdens of bureaucracy.”Saved Over 300 ChildrenTo date, Operation Underground Railroad has saved well over 300 children and apprehended 48 sex traffickers; missions have been carried out in 12 countries, including the U.S.Berrett says, “Our most resounding successes have been in Columbia, where the authorities are very receptive, motivated, and glad to have help in fighting the child sex trafficking problem. We have worked with the federal government there on the several occasions; at one point three of their top undercover agents and two psychotherapists came to the U.S. and spent a week undergoing forensic and other kinds of training.”“The most astounding things are the statistics. The fact that the majority of demand for child sex emanates from the U.S. and Canada is disconcerting. There is a huge volume of child porn that drives child sex slavery. However, we are building software to help law enforcement identify and catch pedophiles.”Asked if they were ever unable to take a mission to the point of prosecution, Berrett says, “The very first undercover operation I did was in Haiti. A few weeks prior, a Christian aid group was bringing in supplies and someone in their group brought a drone to film them helping the children. Well, during this time, someone on their team set the drone down to make some adjustments…and all the while it was filming. By chance, it caught images of a man raping a 4-year-old boy (and there were accomplices). The aid group sent us these images and we presented the video to a judge. He gave us the green light to go undercover and get the guy, which we did. In the end, however, once we were all in the courtroom the child’s mother would not press charges. The judge let him go right in front of us.”One extremely successful mission took an unexpectedly positive turn, says Berrett. “There were 53 kids in a horrific facility fronting as an orphanage; they were all for sale. We set up a sting to pay $7, 500 each for two children…a brother and sister who were 4 and 5 years old. That little boy leapt into one of my colleague’s arms…it was like he knew he was there to save him. We were able to rescue all of the children…and my jump team partner and his wife are adopting that little boy, as well as his sister.”True Heroes, Massive HeartsRadd Berrett wasn’t prepared for the effect that O.U.R. would have on him. “After one mission we had gotten the kids settled in with people running a safe, loving orphanage. My teammates and I spent three hours there playing with the kids…running and jumping and having so much fun laughing with them. Then it came time to leave. The kids were all smiles, but my heart was tearing. I forgot that there was a GoPro camera in the car and it caught me crying like I haven’t cried in 30 years. They were fundamentally tears of joy for these children. Overall, I have never done more emotionally satisfying work.”Sean Reyes, Attorney General of Utah, has nothing but praise for his friend who jumped into the fray to help little ones. “Radd Berrett has taken the same drive, dedication and work ethic that made him a success in the business community to become an effective force in fighting human trafficking. He has given selflessly of his time and money to disrupt this evil practice not only in the U.S. but around the world. He has become an integral player in the liberation of thousands of little boys and girls from the clutches of child sex​ trafficking rings. And he has shown an incredible gift for helping survivors of these atrocities on their long road to recovery and healing. We need more men and women with the character and compassion of Radd Berrett to be effective in our global battle against the evil scourge of sex trafficking.”

Born in Michigan on March 12, 1947, Mitt Romney is the son of former Michigan Governor George Romney. He founded the investment firm Bain Capital and later ran for the Massachusetts Senate in 1994, losing to incumbent Ted Kennedy. Romney took over the Salt Lake Organizing Committee and helmed a successful 2002 Olympic Games. He became governor of Massachusetts in 2003 and made a run for the Republican nomination in the 2008 election, losing to candidate John McCain. Romney made a second run for the U.S. presidency in 2012, with U.S. Representative Paul Ryan of Wisconsin as his running mate, but was ultimately defeated by President Barack Obama in a tight race.The son of George Romney, a former governor of Michigan who ran for the Republican Party's presidential nomination in 1968 (he was defeated by Richard Nixon), Mitt Romney began his career in business. He worked for the management consulting firm Bain & Company before founding the investment firm Bain Capital in 1984. A decade later, in 1994, he ran for a seat in the U.S. Senate in Massachusetts but was defeated by longtime incumbent Ted Kennedy.Romney stepped into the national spotlight in 1999, when he took over as president of the Salt Lake Organizing Committee. He helped rescue the 2002 Winter Olympic Games from financial and ethical woes and helmed the successful Salt Lake City Games in 2002.Romney parlayed his success with the Olympics into politics when he was elected governor of Massachusetts in 2003. During Romney's term as governor, he oversaw the reduction of a $3 billion deficit. He also signed into law a health-care reform program to provide nearly universal health care for Massachusetts residents.After serving one term as governor, Romney declined to run for re-election and announced his bid for the U.S. presidency. He made it through Super Tuesday, winning primaries in Massachusetts, Alaska, Minnesota, Colorado, and Utah before losing the Republican nomination to Senator John McCain of Arizona. According to reports, Romney spent about $110 million on his campaign, including $45 million of his own money.Romney continued to keep his options open for a possible future presidential run. He maintained much of his political staff and political action committees and raised funds for fellow Republican candidates. In March 2010, Romney published the book No Apology: The Case for American Greatness, which debuted on The New York Times' best-seller list.At a farm in New Hampshire on June 2, 2011, Mitt Romney announced the official start of his campaign for the 2012 presidential election. During his campaign, Romney took many standard Republican positions on taxes, the economy and fighting terrorism, while consistently and vocally criticizing his opponent, Democrat President Barack Obama. Specifically, Romney denounced President Obama's health-care reform program—a stance that earned him criticism from the press, as the president's health-care plan is similar to the Massachusetts plan that Romney supported as governor. Additionally, throughout the 2012 presidential race, critics charged Romney with changing his position on several key issues, including abortion; Romney supported Roe v. Wade—the U.S. Supreme Court decision upholding a woman's right to an abortion—while campaigning for a Senate seat in 1994, but maintained an ardent pro-life stance throughout his 2012 campaign for the presidency.From the start of his campaign, Romney emerged as the frontrunner for the Republican nomination. He showed more mainstream Republican appeal than Tea Party-backed competitors like Texas Governor Rick Perry. In January 2012, Romney scored a decisive victory in the New Hampshire Republican primary. He captured more than 39 percent of votes, way ahead of his competitors, including Ron Paul and Jon Huntsman. As the race continued, Rick Santorum became his greatest competition, winning several states. However, Romney secured a substantial lead in the number of delegates needed to clinch the nomination.In April 2012, Romney benefitted from a narrowing of the field when Santorum announced that he was suspending his campaign. Romney publicly paid tribute to his former rival, saying that Santorum "has proved himself to be an important voice in our party and in the nation." Following Santorum's departure, Romney only had two opponents left—Ron Paul and Newt Gingrich. Gingrich threw in the towel that May.Romney's campaign met with negative publicity in July 2012, when President Obama's campaign ran ads claiming that Romney was the head of Bain Capital until 2001, not until 1999 as Romney had previously stated. Around that same time, news reports began to circulate regarding economy-stifling practices by Bain Capital; according to the reports, Romney's company had invested in several businesses that specialized in relocating jobs overseas. The reports, along with Obama's ads, were huge blows to the Romney campaign. But Romney's campaign fired back with its own political ads, which claimed that Obama was more interested in helping his donors than looking out for the American public. This was only the beginning of the slinging of barbs and arrows that would occur between the two candidates along the campaign trail.Later in July 2012, Romney made headlines again, this time for comments he made while attending the 2012 Summer Olympic Games in London; in an interview with NBC, Romney stated that London's preparations for the Games were somewhat "disconcerting," spurring outrage from citizens of the city and viewers worldwide. According to The Guardian, following the NBC broadcast, Prime Minister David Cameron rebuked Romney's remarks, stating, "We are holding an Olympic Games in one of the busiest, most active, bustling cities in the world. Of course,​ it's easier if you hold an Olympic Games in the middle of nowhere," referencing Romney's lead over the 2002 Salt Lake City Games.In response to the criticism, Romney later retracted, stating, "I am very delighted with the prospects of a highly successful Olympic Games. What I have seen shows imagination and forethought and a lot of organization and [I] expect the Games to be highly successful," according to The Guardian.In August 2012, Romney announced 42-year-old U.S. Representative Paul Ryan of Wisconsin as his running mate for vice president. The announcement ended months-long speculation over the potential vice-presidential candidates of the 2012 election, as media attention began to heavily focus on Ryan, a fiscal conservative and chair of the House of Representatives Budget Committee.On August 28, 2012, Romney became the Republican Party's official presidential nominee, receiving 2,061 delegate votes—nearly double the required 1,144—on the first day of the 2012 Republican National Convention, held in Tampa, Florida. During the convention, election candidates Romney and Ryan received support from several fellow Republican politicians, including Romney's competitor in the 2008 Republican presidential primaries, John McCain. "For four years, we have drifted away," McCain said at the convention. "People don't want less of America, they want more. What they want to know is, whether we still have faith ... Mitt Romney has that faith, and I trust him to lead us."Romney made headlines after the first presidential debate with Barack Obama in early October 2012. He gave a strong performance, receiving praise for his speaking skills from citizens and critics alike. Most critics agreed that Romney won the debate and that his performance significantly boosted his public perception and status in the presidential race. However, Obama was praised for his performance during the second and third debates, with many critics claiming that the president had won both.As each state announced its election results on November 6, 2012, many Americans clung to the edge of their seats. Just before midnight, the results were announced: In a tight race, Romney was defeated by Barack Obama, with the president receiving just over half of the popular vote and around 60 percent of the electoral vote.
