Nate McDonald

Nate McDonald served in the Marine Corps as an Intelligence Operator for Special Projects. He was honorably discharged in 2012 after joint operations combat tours in multiple theaters. He now works as a Consultant and Subject Matter Expert supporting various US government and military organizations. Nate has worked for multiple military and veteran organizations over the last decade and now serves as the Vice President and Chief Operations Officer for Irreverent Warriors. He experienced the toll that military service takes on so many by losing comrades both in the line of duty and as a result of the psychological battles they continued to fight afterward. After getting out of active duty, Nate knew there was little he could do to have the backs of his comrades downrange, but was determined to do something to make an impact in the lives of those continuing their fight at home. One of the greatest contributors to mental health struggles and suicide is isolation.
