H.O.P.E Beyond The Badge

Chief Matt Shobert has over 30 years of experience in the fire service, which includes working as a Chief in both California & Arizona.
Chief Shobert shares with us about his upbringing, a family history of substance abuse, how he wanted better for himself, and how living a life of service to others as a firefighter changed his life for the better.
Matt & Tami also discuss the bad calls he had during his career, how he coped with those calls, how they managed those times as a couple, how his career ended when he suffered a near fatal injury on duty, the Post traumatic stress that surfaced while he was recovering from his physical injuries, the unwavering support he received from his wife Tami, and how they got through it all together.
