Todd A. Weiler is a combat veteran, national security leader and activist in the gay community. His work in and out of the Pentagon has promoted major equality issues, allowing more people the opportunity to serve. Weiler entered the senior ranks of the Pentagon at the young age of 28 and has been helping service members and their families ever since. He is the recipient of numerous military and civilian decorations and is a graduate of Texas Christian University.
In his debut book, Todd A. Weiler brings a colorful lifetime of experiences to the policy challenges faced in a new age of equality and its effect on the safety and security of the nation.
Untamed Equality seeks to define the elements that move us beyond the norm and into a society and world that seeks, celebrates and leverages inclusion. No longer are sit-ins and silent protests acceptable to make the kinds of change that are necessary. This level of true equality seeks not only to heal from the past and hold those responsible for their acts against equality; it promotes a future where the realization of inclusion and equality drives safety and security.
