I served as a career Naval Officer in active duty and conducted combat operations in Bosnia, Kosovo, Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria, the Horn of Africa, and elsewhere around the world for almost 28 years.

I hail from a small village in Upstate New York. I can personally attest to the need to meet Veterans wherever they are, especially those in rural areas. As such, I am extremely passionate about our Mobile Service Units program.

After retiring from the service in 2021, I served as the President and CEO of Clear Path for Veterans, to expand services for Veterans and their families across New York State.

Since joining Nation’s Finest in January 2025, I have personally visited every one of our locations – all 16 across California, Nevada, and Arizona. Each and every visit left me with a deeper sense of joy and optimism – hearing the stories of Veterans whose lives have been transformed by our services and seeing firsthand the passion and dedication of our team. It was truly inspiring and deepened my commitment to this mission even more.

Our next chapter is being written, and we invite you to contribute a verse. Stay tuned for updates as we work to serve even more Veterans and families in more places in new and innovative ways. Together.
