About Me

Passion Makes Perfect

Hello, I'm Blake Armstrong, and I am thrilled to welcome you to my blog. I currently reside in Firestone, Colorado, where I have embarked on a new chapter of my life after spending 12 incredible years serving in the Army. Throughout my military career, I had the privilege of fulfilling various roles, including combat medic, flight paramedic, and even serving as a White House paramedic for two presidents. Additionally, I held numerous leadership positions, and I retired from the Army at the rank of Sergeant First Class.

In my personal life, I am blessed with a loving wife and two amazing boys, aged 12 and 15. Our family dynamic is unique, as we adopted our 15-year-old son from foster care when he was 11, and my 12-year-old son is my biological child from a previous marriage. My wife has embraced the role of raising both boys with unwavering love and dedication, making them truly our own.

Leaving the military was not an easy decision for me, as I exited with debilitating injuries to my neck, shoulder, and a body worn down from the demands of serving as a soldier. Throughout my deployments to Afghanistan, I had the immense honor of saving lives as a combat and flight paramedic. However, these experiences also left me haunted by memories and led to diagnoses of PTSD, depression, and anxiety, adding further challenges to my journey.

It has been a year and a half since I transitioned into civilian life, and during this time, I have taken on roles in EMS as a Battalion Chief and later as an EMS Captain. Navigating the waters of the civilian world has been both a learning experience and a test of resilience. I have been discovering how to leverage my unique skills and experiences while adapting to a new environment. Along the way, I have encountered remarkable individuals and learned invaluable lessons about life and the value military personnel bring to the world.

Through this blog, I aim to share my personal experiences, insights, and lessons learned as I navigate the challenges of post-military life, pursue fulfillment, and discover the true potential that lies within each of us. Join me as we explore topics such as personal growth, career transitions, overcoming adversity, and finding purpose in life. Together, let's embrace the unknown, learn from one another, and create a life of fulfillment.
Thank you for joining me on this journey.
