Biography

Chad Robichaux is a champion MMA Champion Fighter, a former police officer, and a Force Recon Marine veteran who served eight deployments to Afghanistan. Despite his extensive training and personal achievements, including a black belt in jiu-jitsu and success in the military and fighting cage, Chad nearly became a suicide statistic as a result of PTSD, depression, and a broken marriage. Despite counseling and medication, Chad’s anxiety and depression became so intense that he left his family. One night, on the verge of suicide, God intervened when Kathy visited Chad and pleaded with him. Realizing he was at rock-bottom, Chad recommitted his life to God and reconciled his marriage. Together, Chad and Kathy established The Mighty Oaks Foundation to assist military veterans and their families along the path to recovery and victory. Whether it be pre-deployment resiliency, post-combat trauma, or reintegration into civilian life, they offer peer-based and legacy programs at no financial cost.
