The Truxtun Foundation was founded by a team of veterans, healers, and human-performance experts dedicated to reimagining how our nation supports its warriors after service. From combat deployments to cutting-edge research labs, our team bridges lived experience and professional excellence across medicine, psychology, policy, and holistic wellness.
We are united by a shared mission: to heal the invisible wounds of war and transform the transition from active duty to civilian life into a rite of passage that cultivates clarity, community, and leadership.
Truxtun is more than an organization—it’s a movement built by those who’ve worn the uniform and those who’ve dedicated their lives to healing them. We believe that the same courage required to serve in war can be channeled into healing, transformation, and service to others.
Together, we are building the bridge from trauma to transformation, and from isolation to leadership.
