Fernando Arroyo, a courageous U.S. Army veteran, has transformed his life into a mission to serve fellow veterans, with a passionate focus on preventing veteran suicide. As the Veterans Program Director at Step Forward Academy, Fernando mentors and coaches veterans transitioning to civilian life. His work helps them find career paths that lead to a living wage and connect them with healthy, supportive communities.
After returning from a deployment, Fernando faced deep personal struggles, culminating in a night of crisis. With a prayer and a moment of silence, he turned his life around, ultimately sharing his transformative journey in his book The Shadow of Death. His vulnerability and message continue to inspire countless veterans, and he now speaks at Men’s Ministry events across the country, offering hope to those who have sacrificed for our freedom.
Fernando is a proud member of Mariners Tustin and is part of the Men of Mariners group. His dedication to improving the lives of veterans is unwavering, and his story serves as a powerful reminder to support and pray for those who have served.
