Dr. Pilet earned his first Ph.D. from the University of South Florida, specializing in Psycho-Educational Techniques for Adult Learners.

He played a key role in organizing initial training and certification programs at MacDill Air Force Base in Tampa. As the Liaison for the 1993 Governor’s Domestic Violence Initiative, his contributions included researching and compiling materials for committee review, which ultimately shaped the 1996 Florida Domestic Violence Law. His dissertation on the impact of anger management within a 29-week domestic violence program has gained international recognition and application.
Certified as a First Responder, Dr. Pilet has been deployed to assist in national disasters, including the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina in New Orleans. He also holds memberships and certifications such as being part of the Family Court Advisory Council, a State Certified Domestic Violence Assessor and Facilitator, and a Certified First Responder.
Dr. Pilet is a retired Major from the U.S. Air Force, where he served as an officer for over two decades, including two tours in combat. His military service earned him more than 30 awards and decorations. Since retiring in 1997, he has continued his work as the Director of the Men’s Program at Interventions, where he served as a trainer, assessor, facilitator, and psychotherapist. His award-winning book, Love: Lost & Found, is now in its third edition.
Dr. Pilet retired from Interventions as of 2025 and handed the company over to his business partner Cary Usher who continues his work with those he served while occasionally providing counseling services.
