Board of Directors & Officers

Mr. Samuel Rock

Samuel Rock is the Founder, President, and Executive Director of the Battle Buddy Response Team® (BBRT), and serves on its Board of Directors. He launched BBRT in 2019 after seeing too many veterans struggle without the support they deserved. What began with a single knock on a door has grown into a nationwide movement, with BBRT reaching all 50 states in just over six years to assist veterans and their families in crisis. Samuel leads BBRT with passion, persistence, and a deep sense of responsibility. He has built partnerships with law enforcement agencies, trained a network of volunteers, and developed systems that ensure help arrives when it’s needed most. As both a leader and board member, he continues to guide the organization’s long-term mission and vision: “Serving Veterans and Their Families.” “Stop and Prevent All Veteran Suicide.”
