Our Story

 In April 2018, Todd Strader founded C3M as a grassroots social media page as an effort to bring awareness of the effects of blast overpressure on brain health from firing U.S. military heavy weapons to the military & veteran community. Todd compiled and published informational and illustrative videos discussing both the science and media attention in an effort to inform and address the absence of recognition by both the Department of Defense (DoD) and the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA). 
 
In June 2018, Timothy Grossman joined Todd and they drafted a 44 page science backed Resolution to address Congress and the VA. In 2024, the team revised the resolution and presented it during Brain Injury Awareness Week on Capitol Hill.

All the while, Todd developed the Pelta-6 TM and worked with active duty units at Fort Benning, GA and Fort Lewis, WA to gather preliminary results as well as Virginia Tech for blast simulator testing. With all of this information in hand the team continues to refine and hone Overpressured LLC's Blast Overpressure Mitigation Strategy (BOMS), collaborating with partners to bring the best options to the table to protect our warfighters while simultaneously seeking to ensure the earned care and benefits for our veterans.
