Deputy Dominic Brissett, Pinellas County Sheriff's Office, Canine Unit  

With fifteen years of service with the Montgomery County Police department in Maryland, and the Pinellas County Sheriff's Office in Florida, Deputy Brissett has experienced a significant amount of extremely stressful events. One of the most stressful was the suicide of best friend, Officer Christina Splaine. After Officer Splaine's funeral, Deputy Brissett made a promise that he would do something to stop other officers from taking their lives. Deputy Brissett's promise prompted his vision for a foundation that would allow those in need the ability to talk to one another, this is how the Hermes Warrior Foundation got it roots.  

MSgt Rebecca Anderson, USAF (retired)  

With twenty years in the United States Air Force, MSgt Anderson has led numerous missions all over the world, including South Korea, South America, Afghanistan, and Africa. During her time in the Air Force,  MSgt Anderson has lost several friends and colleagues  to suicide. Her duty to her troops drove her to want to help stop further personnel from turning to suicide as an answer. MSgt Anderson is currently pursuing her Master's Degree in Psychology, focused in PTSD and Crisis Management counseling, with the hopes of working with the Hermes Warrior Foundation to help those in need.   

Lt. David Gallagher, Huber Heights Fire Department (retired) 

A 28-year veteran of the fire service, Lt. Gallagher has been there and done that. A highly respected firefighter throughout many communities, Lt Gallagher took the role of instructor after retirement and currently teaches all over the US, focusing on Firefighter Rescue, Truck Company Ops, Forcible Entry, and more. Unfortunately, Lt Gallagher has lost fellow firefighters throughout his career and retirement who decided that suicide was their option. These loses have pushed Lt Gallagher to make it a point to always help those who are suffering. This is how he got involved with Hermes Warrior Foundation.
