MILITARY MOBILITY is a non-profit organization specializing in suicide prevention and increasing health and wellness through off-road expeditions and resiliency training for veterans in need.

Our Mission is to put veterans back in a team environment which fosters camaraderie, trust, and inspires the realization that any challenge—no matter how great—can be overcome.

We also provide professional development to aid in career advancement as well as valuable tools for transitioning or retired veterans.

MILITARY MOBILITY identified an unmet need to create an inspirational home for higher learning amongst the veteran community and believe in providing opportunity and instruction where motivated individuals can:

Jumpstart Passion
Fuel Teamwork
Navigate Uncertainty
Gain Traction in Leadership
Align Strategic Goals
Recover Potential

This is NOT just another trail ride. Once at our austere base camp, veterans are

inspirationally taught resiliency, grit, leadership, and team building techniques. Then they are assigned roles and responsibilities and provided real world opportunities to apply the principles into action. The team will lead, manage, problem solve, and achieve mission success.

Our carefully planned expeditions instill confidence, purposefulness, adaptability, and social support to build resilience. This amazing experience offers massive opportunities for positive transformational growth.

Frank Devito

Owner of Das Hooah, LLC

Co-Founder of the Heroes Haven a DBA of Das Hooah

Frank served in the Army during Operation Enduring Freedom and the Global War on Terror. He has personal experience with PTSD as he was diagnosed with the disorder after a deployment to Afghanistan.

Frank’s experience with the military and Veterans Affairs Administration shaped his interest in developing the Heroes Haven program. After becoming severely symptomatic of the disorder he sought help through both the military and VA. At that time programs available were only connected to drug and alcohol treatment. Over the course of nearly a decade of therapy and multiple treatments he had compiled the foundation for what would become the week long experience provided by the Heroes Haven.

Frank has served as the program director and several executive roles within the Heroes Haven and Das Hooah, LLC. He has been responsible for organizing the clinical curriculum and facilitating the program from its inception. Today Frank works with new cohort leaders to ensure the continued success and transferability of the product to future participants and partners.

He lives in Utah with his wife and three children. He is now a Veteran. He continues to serve other Veterans and the community.

More skillful in self knowledge, even more pure, As tempted more; more able to endure, As more exposed to suffering and distress; Thence, also, more alive to tenderness.

From the poem “Character of the Happy Warrior” by William Wordsworth

Terry & Nancy McAdoo

Terry and Nancy are the property owners.

Terry is a Veteran of the Marine Corps and has been an advocate fore Veterans for over ten years. His Veteran advocacy credentials are broad & deep and have spanned well over two decades. They come from his experiences with active military service, his own wild, rocky and ongoing transition. He further served as a veteran counselor for the Department of Veteran's Affairs.

His knowledge is deep, his experience is wide, his wisdom is vast and he is still the same world-hardened miscreant he's been for decades. He is a peer of no surpass. He will be the venue liaison, active participant and presenter in all the programming and is lucky enough to count the other three presenters among his strenuously vetted list of friends.

Further duties include being a co-pit-master for our feasts of beasts.

Nancy is an angel on this earth and is defined as such by all who know her. In Terry's hardest times she decided that she was gonna love him through it. She stood by him steady as a rock and by-god did. She's a Veteran of troubled Veterans and will be pitching in any way she can.
