Over the last decade, I helped lead and develop some of the best operators in the military. Being a SEAL is the greatest profession I could have hoped for. Then, in 2020, that chapter of my life came to an end. It took some time to figure out what my new purpose in life was supposed to be. How do you go from leading warriors in far-off lands to working a corporate day job? What I discovered is that working for someone else whose values don't align drains the life from me. So, I quit my job and started to build a business of my own with zero entrepreneurial experience. But I figured it out. Before long I was hiring friends and my wife joined on, too. Now I'm working with people I love and respect, while running a 6-figure recruiting agency supporting some of the coolest startups. This lead me to want to give other veterans the same opportunity to feel purpose and meaning in their lives again. So I started The Vetrepreneur Collective - a bespoke coaching business that teaches veterans how to identify, develop, and monetize skills they already have to become entrepreneurs themselves.
