Delvin Bourn

Chief Executive Officer (CEO)

Delvin Bourn's journey began with his enlistment in the U.S. Army straight out of high school. Assigned to the prestigious 82nd Airborne Division, Delvin's military service took him on a remarkable journey. From capturing North Korean infiltrators in the DMZ to participating in drug interdiction missions in Central and South America, Delvin's experiences were diverse and impactful. He earned a Bronze Star for Valor during the first Gulf War and later served in Kosovo and Somalia. Despite facing challenges like a serious pelvic injury during his service, Delvin continued to persevere with bravery and resilience. However, Delvin's struggles extended beyond the battlefield. Dealing with undiagnosed depression and anxiety, he faced personal hardships after leaving the military, including two divorces and a diagnosis of an autoimmune disease linked to his service in the Middle East. Despite battling cancer and undergoing life-saving treatments, Delvin faced additional health complications, including heart issues and an abdominal aneurysm. Throughout his journey, Delvin grappled with suicidal thoughts, a struggle that he knows all too well from losing 25 fellow veterans to suicide. It is from these deeply personal experiences that Delvin's commitment to Bourn Free's mission stems. With a profound understanding of the challenges posed by depression, anxiety, and illness, Delvin is driven to provide hope and support to others facing similar struggles. Through Bourn Free, he aims to build a community where individuals can find solace, resilience, and a sense of purpose, empowering them to thrive despite the odds.
