In this episode, we sit down with Navy Veteran Robert Haro and Army Veteran Tim Terwilliger. We share stories of our service time and how they have impacted us. Robert and Tim, discuss how they met and ultimately became friends. The both of them found purpose in BJJ and helping other veterans. What was once a small garage rock climbing company, MoonRocks is now much larger and striving to give veterans something to look forward to everyday. These 2 are determined to help veterans find their purpose and ease the transition from active military to veteran.
CEO/Founder
A Navy Veteran of 8 years, I discovered climbing during a camping trip to MoonRocks OHV with Ryan Spitler and Tim Terwilliger which kickstarted my interest for the sport in March 2018. It also helped me get back into sports I had enjoyed before such as skateboarding and Muay Thai as well as push me to spend more time outdoors. As an avid outdoors enthusiast, I participating in other sports such as mountaineering, mountain biking, and paddleboarding.
Having worked for numerous Non-Profits, I saw the need for a Veteran community that promoted healthy and active lifestyles and found that rock climbing offered tons of mental and physical benefits. Started in February 2021, the idea of a sport based Non-Profit slowly took hold and flourished with no signs of slowing down as we continue to add more sports to our program such as Jiu Jitsu this year.
