I am passionate about Veterans, community organizing, and research.

As the Creator and Director of VetREC (Veteran Research and Education Curation), I am a Veteran helping Veterans. Or, more accurately, I’m a Veteran helping Veteran advocates and researchers help Veterans ;).

VetREC is a virtual small business that brings together Veteran advocates and leaders + Veteran studies researchers ready to learn, partner, and collaborate so we can impact Veteran communities. To assist the community, VetREC offers Veteran-attuned and data-informed research and educational/program development consulting services. Connect with me to learn more.

I am also an independent Research Scholar at the Ronin Institute, an affiliate Research Assistant Professor at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign’s College of Applied Health Sciences, and author of book Rethinking Reintegration and Veteran Identity: A New Consciousness. I honorably served as an enlisted soldier in the Virginia Army National Guard from 2008-2014.
