Tom Smoot
After more than a decade in the Special Operations Forces community under Civil Affairs and Psychological Operations, Tom moved on from the Army with a PTSD diagnosis. Now, as an engineer and entrepreneur, he uses that military background to craft stories and insight into his work. When he’s not running marathons or building things, Tom can usually be found spending his time advocating for veterans through the nonprofit he founded, Lift and Shift Foundation.
