Our Leadership

Gunnery Sergeant Jeff Shilanski / USMC / Retired
Executive Director
 
It was my honor & privilege to serve as an Infantry Unit Leader in the United States Marine Corps from January of 1993 to October of 2013. My battle with PTSD was nearly lost but with the support of my fellow veterans, I pulled through and am a living my best life.  I started FOB Rasor to pay it forward to those still suffering.  I cannot and will not loose another brother or sister.
 
Today, I work for Kirby Inland Marine as a dispatcher. I enjoy my family, our dogs, the outdoors and my life. My passions are my sobriety, my 12 step program and helping others discover the peace and happiness that life has to offer.
