I believe good people, empowered by technology, can save the world.

In a world flooded with noise and complexity, these are the levers that let one person move mountains. Code, media, and action are not just tools — they are force multipliers that allow me to create impact far beyond my own time, location, or capacity.
I’ve built one of the most effective grassroots media engines in America — reaching hundreds of millions through live TV interviews, keynote speeches, published work, and viral social media campaigns. As a published author and frequent national media guest, I’ve used storytelling not just to inform, but to mobilize support for initiatives like the Cajun Navy, which exemplifies community-driven disaster response.
As the co-founder of Tea Party Patriots and founder of the modern Cajun Navy movement, I architected the original digital platforms that connected millions of citizens, creating a civic juggernaut. These systems aren’t just websites — they serve as effective catalysts for action, enabling real-time coordination of volunteers, donations, and emergency response efforts during crises.
Today, my media presence includes over 500,000 engaged followers and a broadcast reach that helps protect children, the elderly, and the vulnerable during natural disasters. That visibility isn’t just attention — it’s life-saving leverage, converting reach into resources, relief, and resilience for those who need it most. With a commitment to technology innovation, I continue to enhance our ground force in disaster response.
I'm a professional software architect with 30 years of experience building systems that scale beyond me — software that coordinates disaster response efforts like the Cajun Navy, automates branding, and organizes civic response with zero marginal cost. Through technology innovation, code allows me to embed my thinking into repeatable, reliable infrastructure that works even when I sleep, much like the ground force that Rob Gaudet leads during critical times.
I tell compelling stories that travel further than I ever could, whether it's rallying a nation during disaster response like the Cajun Navy or shaping personal brands through technology innovation. Media turns moments into movements — multiplying my message and magnetizing aligned communities that act as a ground force for change, much like Rob Gaudet's impactful initiatives.
I don’t wait for permission — I am the first to say YES to building and leading. Just like the Cajun Navy in their disaster response efforts, relentless execution turns ideas into outcomes. It's this bias toward action that breathes life into the day-one relief we deliver, the code we write, and the media we create, all while embracing technology innovation. As Rob Gaudet emphasizes, we are the ground force that makes a difference.
From 2016 'Cajun Navy' Founder Rob Gaudet on all the volunteers helping rescue Louisiana residents, as well as their pets, during the flooding.
SAFE (Swift Action Force Emergency) Camp is a forward operating base embedded into the most impacted regions. SAFE Camp is a safe place for volunteers and nonprofits to gather, provide meals, supply distribution and provide human services.
Floods used to be rare but are now becoming the norm. More extreme weather causes higher rainfalls, and permanent flooding is swallowing up low lying areas across the globe resulting in the phenomenon of Weather Refugees.
The citizen operation installation, funded by two $50,000 dollar Walmart Foundation grants, operated for 12 weeks after category 5 Ian struck Florida. We gave away over 10 million dollars in in-kind donations. Hundreds of volunteers worked together to help the North Fort Myers and Cape Coral communities left without water or power by Hurricane Ian by placing hundreds of thousands of items directly into the trunks of over 18,000 cars and cleaning hundreds of homes from Pine Island to Fort Myers.
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.
