Jeremy Scharlow is a public speaker, advocate for military and law enforcement veterans, and author of the book, “My Brother’s Keeper: Relearning to Live with PTSD.” He served as a patrol officer for Mahomet Police Department for ten years, nine of those as a METRO SWAT member, until he medically retired after his on-duty shooting incident. 

Jeremy completed his Master of Arts in Legal Studies at the University of Illinois at Springfield and founded Relearningtolive.com.   In addition to advocating for Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder and Suicide Awareness in the law enforcement community, he is currently an honoree with Operation Enduring Warrior. He serves as the Program Manager for their Warrior Voice and Scuba programs.

On this week’s episode we return to Texas Gun Experience where, we had the opportunity to sit down with the President of Operation Enduring Warrior, Troy Warshel, and honoree and program manager for OEW's Warrior voice Jeremy Scharlow. Troy, also a veteran marine fighter pilot, explains what this incredible non-profit is doing for our warrior community and what it means to him and the OEW family. Jeremy gets real and takes us back to his on duty shooting and the aftermath, including his struggles with PTSD and addiction, until OEW found him and gave him a new purpose. Check out his book, “My Brother’s Keeper: Relearning to Live with PTSD”.

We are so excited to announce that we are partnering with OEW to share more honoree’s stories on a series called “The warriors voice”. We hope that these episodes will help provide healing and an outlet for the honorees, but we also hope that this reaches someone that needs to know they are not alone. That there are good men and women who want to help. You are here for a purpose and needed more than you know.
