Doug Moore

Doug Moore has spent over twenty-five years watching people in crisis — first as a youth minister sitting across from

teenagers who've gone silent, then as an RN in hospitals where the stakes are measured in heartbeats. He's also logged over

1,000 miles on the trail, leading youth through wilderness expeditions in the backcountry.

His unique background — reading vital signs at the bedside, leading teenagers through the wilderness, and walking with

countless families through crisis — gives him a rare lens on the silent epidemic facing today's boys. After decades of watching

good fathers lose their sons to screens, pornography, and digital addiction, Doug wrote The Vanguard Project: A Tactical Field

Manual for Fathers Fighting for Their Sons to give dads the words, the tools, and the framework they need to lead.

The book combines brain science explained in plain English, word-for-word conversation scripts, age-specific guides for boys

ages 8 through 18, and a wilderness metaphor framework that makes the hardest talks feel natural. It's built on three distinct

strands of experience — the Trail Boss, the RN, and the Youth Minister — all woven together to help fathers move from

reactive to proactive.

Doug lives with his family in the mountains of North Georgia
