    I Quit Drinking and Found My Path in Film

    I foreground Kenny Hernandez’s transformation from a combat Ranger and military intelligence soldier into a sober, purpose-driven filmmaker who now channels his lived experience into veteran advocacy. We recount his enlistment after 9/11, his service and Ranger indoctrination, and the profound difficulties he endured during transition, most notably alcohol dependence and PTSD. I describe his multi‑year recovery, the vocational pivot to establish In House Media, and his cinematic work with Warrior Built and veteran events including the Johnson Valley flag project. We emphasize his practical role in securing treatment for fellow veterans, notably arranging his brother’s placement at Camp Hope through coordination with the PTSD Foundation of America. I note his ongoing contributions to the veteran community through media, racing support, and peer camaraderie, and we provide contact avenues: Instagram @KenChase831 and InHouseMediaPro.com for those seeking collaboration or assistance. Throughout, we present a candid account that underscores resilience, collective responsibility, and concrete pathways to recovery and renewed purpose. Takeaways: I joined the Army soon after 9/11, and that event strongly motivated my service and sense of duty.I became a Ranger and later struggled with alcohol and PTSD during my transition back to civilian life.I spent many years in recovery and am now sober, which transformed my family relationships and work focus.We use Warrior Built and veteran groups to provide camaraderie and practical help for veterans with trauma and reintegration.I built InHouse Media after film school and vocational support, and I now produce steady content for veteran causes and music events.I helped my brother enter an inpatient program at Camp Hope, and he quit drinking and rebuilt his life.We stress that peer support and veteran-focused programs are essential to reduce isolation, lower suicide risk, and restore purpose.I encourage veterans to pursue passion projects, accept help early, and join communities that understand combat experience.

    Noble Woods III.(USMC) Homes and Second Chances

    What if distressed buildings could become permanent homes and a foundation for a second chance? Noble Woods III, MBA, founder, Chairman and Executive Director of Elysian Shores Supportive Housing, joins Combat Vet Vision to discuss a mission centered on converting distressed hotels, motels and commercial properties into permanent supportive housing for veterans and families. Elysian Shores is a veteran-founded 501(c)(3) nonprofit based in San Diego, California. Its approach combines housing with supportive services that can include mental-health counseling, crisis intervention, recovery support, workforce development, healthcare coordination and community operations. In this conversation, we explore: Why permanent supportive housing goes beyond simply providing a roof. How adaptive reuse can turn distressed properties into places of stability. The role entrepreneurship, real estate and capital formation play in addressing veteran homelessness. Why supportive services are an essential part of the Elysian Shores model. How partnerships across real estate, healthcare, behavioral health and the community can move the mission forward. What "second chances" mean when applied to buildings, communities and lives. Today, Woods leads Elysian Shores while bringing experience from entrepreneurship, investing, digital strategy and AI-driven business automation to the challenge of creating sustainable veteran housing.

    Giovanni Perez | Throttle, Teamwork & Purpose

    What happens when the mission changes, but the drive to keep moving forward remains? Combat Vet Vision welcomes Giovanni Perez, a retired U.S. Army combat engineer, wounded veteran, adaptive motorcycle and off-road competitor, and veteran advocate whose post-service journey has taken him from Afghanistan to some of the toughest terrain in off-road racing. Giovanni lost his left arm while serving with the Army in Afghanistan. After returning home, motorcycles became more than recreation. Through adaptation, determination and the veteran community, riding became another place to find challenge, camaraderie and purpose. Giovanni has competed in desert and off-road events including the Baja 500, Baja 1000 and Vegas to Reno. His adaptive riding includes motorcycle modifications that allow him to ride with a prosthetic left arm. In the 2018 Baja 1000, he was part of a six-rider team that officially finished the legendary event. His story also extends beyond racing. Giovanni has been connected with the Warrior Built Foundation, an organization serving combat veterans and wounded service members through vocational and recreational opportunities, including fabrication, mechanics and off-road racing. He has also participated in Wounded Warrior Project advocacy activities supporting issues affecting post-9/11 veterans. In this episode, we explore: • How the combat-engineer mindset can translate into adapting to life after a major injury • The transition from military service to finding a new mission • Returning to motorcycles after losing his left arm • Adaptive riding and the challenge of desert and off-road competition • The role of camaraderie, machines and racing in rebuilding purpose • Why continuing to serve and advocate for other veterans matters This conversation is not simply about overcoming an injury. It is about adaptation, teamwork and discovering that purpose can take a different form when the original mission changes.
