Private E-1 to Colonel in the U.S. Army, he brings an understanding and affinity to the population he serves. He began treating members of the 101st Airborne Division and the special operations community at Ft Campbell, KY in 2003. As the results of his work became known, soldiers from Warrior Transition units began to be referred to Dr. Hurley and Soldier Center, for his EMDR 10-day intensive treatment program.
