True help comes when there is nothing to gain....
Life can take us in a lot of unexpected directions, after I went through some trials & tribulations of my own I took a step back and saw a group of people that had so much to offer but needed a chance. Veterans are a unique group of individuals who have unique skills and leadership abilities that can and have changed the world.
However, it's not always a straight path. Veterans can be put through the wringer when departing from military service can become lost and confused regarding what to do next. That's where I saw an opportunity. I had been through all of these ordeals and seen it firsthand so I could use that knowledge to help my fellow veterans and that's exactly what I did.
