Nelson Grant is a Sheriff's Deputy and Search and Rescue Team member in the Flathead Valley. In addition to his current duties, he has previous experience on the SWAT Team and Narcotics Task Force.
When not on duty Nelson enjoys partaking in just about every activity that Northwestern Montana has to offer. Bowhunting, rifle hunting, river raft guiding, dual-sport motorcycle guiding, backcountry split boarding and skiing, touring, trekking, downhill mountain bike riding, jiu-jitsu, and probably even more that I am forgetting.
If there was ever a renaissance man of the Montana mountains, Nelson is it.

Today's first email is a raw and emotional account of a man's journey through separation from his wife, shedding light on the impact of secondary PTSD on relationships. His story is a cautionary tale, urging listeners to recognize the subtle yet profound effects their high-stress jobs can have on their loved ones. He shares his struggle with mental health, the breakthrough he experienced with proper treatment, and the realization of his role in his marriage's deterioration.

Of all the episodes I have been able to record, these episodes with my father stand out as some of my favorites. I never thought I would be able to record conversations about our family history, values, beliefs, and what makes us who we are. I love that they will live forever, far beyond both of us, and can hopefully have great meaning to future generations later in their lives.
Strap in and get ready for a journey through space and time. We open with my fathers role in the first issue of Playgirl, the in's and out's of being on the receiving end of a BUI (Biking Under the Influence), current protests at college campuses in comparison to the Vietnam era and much, much more.
