TJ Rumler grew up in West Greenville, SC, seeing firsthand the impacts of poverty, addiction, and racism in his community. Deploying to Iraq with the Army allowed TJ to experience how difficult combat is on soldiers and their families, as well as many failures along the military’s journey towards successful treatment of PTSD. With encouragement from friends and family, TJ left a successful sales career and went back to complete a Master’s Degree in Social Work. Since entering the social work field, he has served fellow Veterans, individuals experiencing chronic homelessness, individuals with HIV/AIDS, children with behavioral and mental health struggles, and currently serves  as Trauma Informed Social Worker with Greenville County Schools.
