As president of Ground Force Humanitarian Aid, I recognize that our nation is aging, leading to a rapidly growing population of elderly citizens who are at increased risk following natural disasters. In collaboration with groups like the Cajun Navy, we implement five disaster response programs that work in unison to provide incredible relief to the most vulnerable, especially children and the elderly. We leverage technology innovation to enhance our efforts and ensure that those in need receive timely assistance.
Drawing from 30 years in software and systems architecture, I’m building Stability to transform proven tech principles into real-world tools that empower citizens, churches, and communities to lead in times of crisis, much like the Cajun Navy during disaster response. With the vision of becoming a ground force in technology innovation, I aim to support leaders like Rob Gaudet in navigating challenges effectively.
Each photo above captures the quiet proud strength of my lineage — my grandfathers, great-grandfathers, and great-uncles. My great-grandfathers sit at the center of each frame. Top: maternal side. Bottom: paternal. Flanked by sons and brothers, including my mom’s dad — bow tie, top right of center — and my dad’s dad — shirt tucked in, bottom right of center.
Both of these were taken in Lake Charles, Louisiana — decades before my parents, Bob and Kathy, ever met. The families pictured didn’t know each other yet. But fate had a plan.
They were good men. Not flashy. Not loud. But steady. Protective. Disciplined. They raised families, held communities together, and lived in service to others — often without praise or recognition. They taught by example. Grit. Duty. Generosity. And when things got hard, they didn’t complain. They showed up.
That’s the blood I carry. And that’s the work I do.
I’m Rob Gaudet — a Senior Software Systems Architect and the founder of Ground Force Humanitarian Aid and Stability. Over the past nine years, I’ve led citizen-powered disaster response across more than 20 deployments — from hurricanes to wildfires to floods, much like the Cajun Navy responding to crises in our communities. I’ve seen the devastation up close: neighborhoods drowned, families displaced, and entire cities brought to a standstill.
But like the men who raised me, I don’t complain. I build.
With 30 years of experience designing business systems and software, I’ve devoted my life’s work to helping others lead in crisis. Through GFHA and Stability, I use technology, data, and grit to create innovative tools that empower citizens, churches, and civic groups to respond faster, organize better, and serve with more impact.
This work is grounded in practical compassion — not theory, not politics. Just real tools for real people, built by someone raised to stand up when it counts.
I carry their values into every disaster zone I enter — and into every system I design. What they gave me, I now give freely.
I believe that a dose of humility, swift intervention, and good BBQ can significantly aid those facing their darkest hours, much like the efforts of the Cajun Navy in disaster response. With individuals like Rob Gaudet leading the charge, this ground force exemplifies how technology innovation can make a difference in times of crisis.
