Engineer/EMT, Boulder Fire-Rescue
John Teague
John has been a career firefighter for 18 years, currently serving as an Engineer/EMT at one of the busiest stations in Boulder, Colorado. Passionate about his profession and proud to serve, John found unexpected challenges in the form of PTSD, something rarely discussed when he first entered the field. When the weight of the job began to affect his life, he turned to NeurOptimal® neurofeedback. The experience helped him reclaim his mental well-being, offering a path to healing, clarity, and renewed engagement. Today, he’s part of the HeroBrain Core Team, bringing both personal insight and unwavering commitment to supporting his fellow first responders.
