Summary

Stacy Bare is not your average guy or storyteller. He received a Bronze Star for his time spent serving in Iraq from 2006 to 2007, but struggled with depression, addiction and even contemplated suicide when he returned home from war. When a friend introduced him to rock climbing, however, the course of his life changed. Stacy created Veterans’ Expeditions and Adventure Not War, getting vets outside. In 2014, he was named the National Geographic Adventurer of the Year, a well-deserved title.
