Tom Thresher

I was reared in the belief that a man’s worth is proven not in ease, but in obligation—to God above all, to his family, and to those whose lives are entrusted to him. Such convictions would not have been foreign to our forefathers, when resolve was demanded daily and faith was often the only constant.

I am a Christian, a husband, and the father of four children; these titles I hold with greater care than any other. I am a son of the late twentieth century, formed in the years of the 1990s and early 2000s, and brought to manhood in a nation soon tested by war.

I have served in both Iraq and Afghanistan, where I learned—as soldiers in every generation have learned—that courage is most often quiet and sacrifice is borne as much by the household as by the Soldier.

It is from these experiences—of service, faith, family, and fellowship—that I was led to write Titan Force: stories meant to honor duty, brotherhood, and moral clarity, and to pass forward to the next generation the enduring virtues that have carried soldiers through every age.
