Book Cover Design Brief

AUTHORS BIO:
Chad Calahan is a 20-year United States Air Force veteran who served as a Crew Chief for F-15 and F-22 fighter jets, maintaining the backbone of America’s air superiority through multiple deployments to Afghanistan and other austere locations. Shaped by the loss of his father as a young adult and the lingering scars of childhood trauma, he confronts PTSD with the same tenacity he brought to the flightline. A survivor and advocate, he brings a raw, hard-earned perspective to "Torque and Trauma," blending the grit of a serviceman with the insight of a man determined to heal. Focused on helping men confront their pain and find strength in vulnerability. Chad now lives in Jacksonville, North Carolina, where he continues to advocate for those shaped by trauma’s lasting weight.

SUMMARY:
In this raw and revealing non-fiction work, Chad Calahan delves into the lasting echoes of childhood trauma and its profound impact on adult life, with a lens on his 20-year career in the Air Force. Blending personal experience with hard-earned insight, the book explores how post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) shapes the mind and body, often in ways that remain hidden until the pressure builds beyond breaking points. With a focus on men—who are too often taught to bury their pain—this narrative offers a roadmap to understanding, confronting, and healing from the torque of trauma. Written in a direct, unflinching voice, "Torque and Trauma" is both a memoir of resilience and a call to action for those ready to face the past to reclaim their future. Thank you for joining me on this adventure called life. It means more to me than you will ever know.
