Old Ranger, New Dad
Life doesn’t come with a manual, but if it did, it’d probably be written in crayon by a sleep-deprived parent and edited by an old Ranger with too many scars to count :-)
Welcome to Old Ranger, New Dad—a vlog and podcast where hard truths meet full authenticity. No fluff, no sugar-coating—just real talk about life’s struggles, triumphs, and everything in between.
Through my journey—from the battlefield to the home front—I’ll over-share the obstacles I’ve faced, the battles I’ve fought (both external and internal), and the lessons I’ve learned along the way, but like a Father would for his son, not like an influencer would for a 'Follower.'
This channel is about perseverance, faith, and finding purpose in the struggle. It’s always upbeat, always real, and always aimed at inspiring and equipping you for your own fight.
Whether it’s parenting, leadership, resilience, or faith, every episode delivers value. And while I don’t shy away from adult topics, I approach them with wisdom and respect—ensuring Old Ranger, New Dad is a Christian, family-friendly space you don’t have to worry about your kids overhearing. Because let’s face it, the world throws enough garbage their way—I won’t be adding to the pile.

9/11 First Responder, Marine dug for bodies and overcame severe PTSD
Johnny Walker shares profound experiences as a veteran, particularly focusing on his time as a 1st responder who watched 9/11 happen in-person.
He overcame 19yrs of severe PTSD. The man who 'Healed' him (Johnny's words, not mine) will be on another podcast in December!
Johnny is in extremely high levels of technology and shares the reality of how big tech controls the money and the politicians. The conversation shifts to the alarming statistics surrounding missing children in the U.S. and the role of AI in child exploitation.
Johnny emphasizes the interconnectedness of data breaches and online child safety, calling for greater awareness and ethical considerations in technology development. In this conversation, Johnny Walker and I delve into the complex issues surrounding human trafficking specifically of children, the role of technology in raising awareness, and the pervasive corruption within agencies and the military-industrial complex. We discuss the value of life in military operations, the mental health crisis among veterans, and the illusion of control that society faces. The conversation emphasizes the importance of nonprofits in combating these issues and concludes with reflections on the interconnectedness of societal problems and the need for awareness and action.
