Brian Dickinson served six years in the U.S. Navy as an Aviation Rescue Swimmer, including two deployments to the Persian Gulf. On May 15, 2011, he solo-summited Mount Everest; when snow blindness took his vision at the summit, he descended alone for seven hours to high camp — the highest solo blind descent ever recorded. He is the bestselling author of Blind Descent and co-author of Calm in the Chaos, and hosts the Calm in the Chaos podcast. His individual keynotes on leadership and resilience serve corporate, military, and university audiences.

JoAnna Dickinson is a Christian counselor (MSW) whose work centers on mental health, marriage, and spiritual recovery. As co-author of Calm in the Chaos, she brings the counselor's roadmap to Brian's survival story: what healing after trauma actually involves, and how faith carries people through it.

Their joint program, Faith, Resilience & Healing, is presented to churches, faith conferences, Christian universities, and corporate faith programs.
