Joshua Lyon founded RTFMT with the vision & drive to improve the lives of veterans, soon-to-be veterans, & their families. He enjoys hiking, shooting guns (goes without saying), overworking himself, running, & follows hockey (Carolina Hurricanes & LU Flames). He enjoys reading psychological, neuroscience, and business material.

He served 5 years in the Army Military Police. Stationed in Korea, Haiti, & Afghanistan (he was awarded a Combat Action Badge due to a vehicle-borne IED or VBIED at a Kandahar Police Station in 2012, a NATO Non-Article 5 Award, & his unit was awarded the Valorous Unit Award for OEF).

Since his transition out of the military, he has self-published several short stories on Amazon & attained a Bachelor of Science in Criminal Psychology from Liberty University and completed a course in Positive Psychology by UNC-Chapel Hill. The career fields he transitioned through were private security, insurance, non-profit, and mental health. In mental health he worked in a group home and also done Supported Employment work. Working in employment work for years gave him insight in how to develop career assisting programs for RTFMT.
