On this episode of the WWIA Podcast, we are proud to bring you the first in a series of on-location interviews from the Northwoods of Wisconsin at WWIA's Northern Healing Center, Camp Hackett. WWIA Founder and CEO, John McDaniel welcomes longtime supporter and friend of the Foundation, Mr. Mike Reed. Mike is a multi-talented man who can do just about anything, truly a jack-of-all trades. He has graciously and humbly been the Camp's go-to-guy go for troubleshooting issues on site or facilitating and spearheading maintenance or improvement projects. Mike's also a successful entrepreneur, an avid outdoorsman, a generous philanthropist, and a true servant-leader. Mike and his wife Joan are true American patriots and tremendous supporters of WWIA and our combat-wounded Purple Heart Heroes. We are honored to introduce you to Mike, to share part of his story, and to recognize the impact and contributions he has made and continues to make through his selfless participation and support.

John McDaniel

Lieutenant Colonel (Retired) John J. McDaniel founded Wounded Warriors in Action Foundation in 2007 and established its corporate headquarters in Apollo Beach, Florida. A retired Army officer, John felt that his service to the nation was not yet finished. He started as a concerned citizen taking a few Wounded Warriors out on hunting and fishing trips, but quickly saw that the need for this kind of healing was greater than he could support on his own. In 2009 WWIA was granted 501(c)(3) nonprofit status and has been changing the lives of American Heroes and American Sportsmen and women across the country ever since.
