I come from a long line of military veterans, and VEO's service to those who have given so much to their country is enormously appealing. I am honored to have the opportunity to build on VEO's stellar reputation and help ensure a sustainable future for men and women experiencing more than the normal dose of difficulties navigating civilian life after their military service.
