Message from the Chair/Founder

It is truly my privilege to be able to give back and hopefully make a difference in the lives of our Veterans, Service members, and their families. Through both my military and corporate careers, I have been afforded the opportunity meet, work with, and learn from extraordinary individuals. These experiences coupled with life have enabled me to build the relationship, network, and knowledge capital that I depend upon every day to give back.

My Dad served 33 years in the Army (Korea, Vietnam, others) and is now the Commander of 423rd MOPH in CO. My Mom volunteered as a Gray Lady, Army Community Service Volunteer. Between my Mom and Dad, they volunteer 90 hours a week for their Community and were recently honored as Fountain, CO volunteers of the year. One of my brothers served 30 years in the Army (Vietnam, others), came back from retirement and now works as a government civilian with the 4th ID, currently deployed to Iraq. My other brother served 30 years in USMC, my sister is a nurse at Ft. Campbell, and my other sister volunteers with MOPH and an animal placement and care organization. We all realize just how fortunate we are and how many others sacrifice every single day for our way of life.

Why give back? Perhaps we should ask ourselves, why not give back of our time and talents to make a difference.
