This February, Maine Knows Howe brings you a powerful episode rooted in purpose, perseverance, and service.

Bob Howe sits down with David Giampetruzzi—retired veteran, Registered Maine Guide, and original founding board member of Pine Grove Programs—for an unforgettable conversation about what it truly took to get the program off the ground.

Together, Bob and David share the early stories: the doubts, the hard work, the faith, and the commitment it took to build something that would go on to impact thousands of lives. From veterans to first responders and law enforcement officers, this episode explores how Pine Grove Programs has helped men and women recover from PTSD through mentorship, the outdoors, and genuine human connection.

🎙️ In this episode, you’ll hear:
• The origin story of Pine Grove Programs
• What motivated the founders to say “yes”
• How outdoor experiences help heal invisible wounds
• The real impact on veterans, first responders, and LEOs

This isn’t just a podcast episode—it’s a testimony to what happens when people step up, serve others, and refuse to quit.
