Step Out, Step Up

Warrior/Athlete Mark Green shares his inspiring story in his new book Step Out, Step Up: Lessons from a Lifetime of Transitions and Military Service along with the many hard-won lessons he’s learned through 34 years of military service and the many transitions he and his family have experienced along the way. Despite being told repeatedly that he’d never amount to anything, Mark became a champion Tae Kwon Do athlete on the inaugural team that got the sport officially recognized by the military, was assigned to the 82nd Airborne, was named “Soldier of the Year” for his battalion, became an officer, served as an Inspector General in Afghanistan and stateside, and earned a law degree. In The Resilient Warrior's CODE: Secrets for Triumphant Transition, his forthcoming companion book to Step Out, Step Up, co-authored by Echo Montgomery Garrett, an award winning author, Green draws on his personal and professional experiences and those of others to help Veterans, military service members and their families with transitioning, overcoming their own obstacles and building positive and resilient lives. Mark’s books are for those who have struggled in life and need to re-engage with themselves first and reorient themselves to stay in the fight.

Got Goals?

I grew up in a mobile home. Now I sit on my lanai in Hawaii for vacations. You can listen to those who do, or those who say they want to and don’t ever. Results come from action and action comes from ideas acted upon.
