Hello everyone, my name is Robert Bridges. I’m a naval veteran, father of two beautiful daughters and a husband of the love of my life for over 30+ years. I currently have two businesses and co-owner in my wife’s business as well. I’m excited to learn more about how to be a better person in my community through real estate investing and community development with the help of you guys in the Skool. I am excited for this opportunity and can’t wait to see what the future holds for myself and others in the Skool community. Take care and be well everyone.

🚀 We’re Building Something Special While things may seem quiet on the surface, we’ve been working tirelessly behind the scenes to build VetMentors Housing University into a learning community that will truly make a difference. On Monday, July 13, 2026, we officially launch our very first course: Collaborative Housing Solutions for Homeless Veterans This is a milestone—not just for me, but for all of us. To our Founding Members, thank you for believing in this vision and for building alongside us from the very beginning. You are helping shape what I believe will become the nation’s leading educational platform dedicated to housing homeless veterans and creating pathways to homeownership. This is my first time building a university on the SKOOL platform, and like any new journey, there will be opportunities to learn, improve, and grow. I ask for your patience, your feedback, and your continued engagement as we build something meaningful together. Every course we launch… Every resource we create… Every lesson we teach… …moves us one step closer to changing the lives of veterans across America. Thank you for being part of this journey. See you Monday as we launch Course #1! 🚀 — Yvette Jones-Swanson, M.A. Founder & Chancellor VetMentors Housing University “Building Communities. Restoring Lives.” **** Make sure to get your book 📕 https://www.vetmentorsonline.com/store/
