Two steadfast companions live within the shadows of trauma: post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and moral injury. As the owner of both, Dave Nordel has an intimate relationship with them and has learned to harness their energy, transform their stories into empathy, and shed light on the importance of understanding these distinct challenges. While sharing his experiences, Dave extends an invitation to connect with him and embark on a transformative path together. Moral injury embodies the psychological and spiritual anguish that occurs when one witnesses or engages in actions that oppose their deeply ingrained moral beliefs and values. While often associated with high-stress professions like the military, healthcare, and first responders, moral injury can happen when individuals confront morally challenging situations.

Dave Nordel is a retired United States Air Force Command Chief Master Sergeant with over 30 years of service. He holds a bachelor's degree in registered nursing specializing in emergency medicine and a master's degree in disaster and emergency management. Dave is a Bronze Star combat-decorated medic and the recipient of the Legion of Merit, our nation's 6th highest military decoration.
