Nick has a career of over a decade’s worth of civil service spanning fire, corrections, and public safety, and he is also a survivor of CSA, more commonly known as Childhood Sexual Abuse.

-Male sexual trauma is seen as a common issue that goes relatively ignored within American society. The suspected ratio of boys who experience some form of sexual abuse varies from one in six to as high as one in four by the age of eighteen.

-Despite society's acknowledgement of the prevalence of this issue, the average length of time between male sexual abuse and disclosure is twenty years, not accounting for abuses that never get reported.

-Childhood Sexual Abuse is a form of trauma, and while these childhood trauma statistics were not CSA specific, they are certainly related and may display some of the predispositions male CSA survivors encounter: victims of childhood trauma are; 2.4 times as likely to experience ongoing anxiety, 3.6 times as likely to be depressed, 7.2 times as likely to become alcoholic, and 11.1 times as likely to become intravenous drug users.

Non-traditional Full Auto Friday Q and A with my wife, Leah Stumpf.

As much as it pains me to say it, Michael did a good job selecting the questions and we covered quite a few topics. We talked some Jiu Jitsu, general training, the role of a step parent, relationships, stories she has heard about me from my dad, and her upcoming seminar in Costa Rica.
