Guest Bio: 

Chris Cathers is a former US Army Green Beret and CIA  paramilitary Global Response Staff (GRS) contractor with numerous  deployments to Iraq, Afghanistan, Palestine, and North Africa.  He is a  turnaround specialist and operating expert with over 15 years of  experience in the manufacturing, defense, and service industries. For years, Chris silently struggled with post-traumatic stress (PTS),  depression, and suicidal ideation, fearful that such a diagnosis would  negatively impact his career. His symptoms reached the breaking point in  2011, which almost resulted in Chris taking his own life.  If not for  one of his closest friend Ron Griffin's intervention, Chris would have  undoubtedly been among the 22 per day statistics.   Chris wants to leave something positive in this world before he goes,  regardless of how much time he has left.  He has encouraged his military  brothers and sisters to seek help immediately and not downplay the  signs. Through this documentary, “Brother’s Keeper,” Chris and his  business partner Daniel aim to raise awareness of the veteran suicide  epidemic and destigmatize the subject by openly discussing his personal  struggles, sharing the impactful stories of other exceptional veterans,  and providing critical resources to warriors who may be  battling PTS.
