His work helping tens of thousands of military veterans achieve fluency in the language of the civilian labor force, which is ‘management’, and prove it with in-demand credentials such as the PMP, ACP, PSM, and the CM, has helped them achieve meaningful, lucrative post-service careers and businesses! In fact, Vets2PM is the 2019 and 2020 Department of Labor HIRE Vets Gold Award Winner in the small business category for its veteran hiring initiatives!
