Working for the U.S. Army, Secret Service, Los Angeles Police Department, FBI and the National Guard, Jake Clark has not led a typical life. Topping his resume now: founder of Save A Warrior, a nonprofit headquartered in Ohio and California that connects and empowers active duty military, returning veterans and first responders who are experiencing post-traumatic stress (PTS).

Clark’s efforts with Save a Warrior recently earned him the 2018 Rare Life Award, Eagle Rare Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey’s program that celebrates “those who lead a rare life.” With the award, Clark received a donation of $50,000 for his nonprofit. Here, he talks about his plans for the award money, the idea of a “war detox” and how trauma doesn’t always start on the battlefield.
