About the book

Sometimes, everything changes with just one whisper.He had it all—or so it seemed. A decorated Naval Officer, a devoted family man, and a respected leader.But behind the uniform, the success, and the sense of duty, he was drowning.
Depression. Anxiety. Self-doubt. The weight of life pressed in.Until a sunny day in September, the moment everything changed.In this brutally honest memoir, Ben lays bare his deepest struggles—the unseen battles that nearly consumed him, the supernatural encounters that shattered his doubts, and the miraculous events that unfolded during a mission trip to El Salvador.But this isn’t just a memoir. And it certainly isn’t your typical military hero story.It’s proof that God is still moving, still speaking, and still reaching for us—even when we least expect it.And once you hear his story, you might begin to recognize the whispers in your own.

Publishing

The Meaning Behind the LogoThe eagle has woven itself through my life — from sports teams and schools to my naval service and final rank.I created the Penta Eagles logo a few years ago to honor that theme, but its deeper meaning clicked one morning while I was sitting in a dentist’s waiting room. I picked up a Bible from the side table, flipped it open, and it landed on this:“He will cover you with his feathers. He will shelter you with his wings. His faithful promises are your armor and protection.”
- Psalm 91:4:In that moment, I realized the wing wasn’t just my design — it was God’s reminder that He’d been covering every part of my life all along.
