For more than 25 years, I have dedicated my career to helping veterans move from homelessness to stable housing and homeownership. Along the way, I have trained professionals across the country, written educational publications, and developed housing strategies that continue to change lives.

VetMentors Housing University was created to bring that knowledge together in one place—where learning leads to action, collaboration leads to solutions, and education creates lasting impact.
