I am both an Army Veteran and serve as the Metro Administrator for the Portland, OR and Vancouver, WA chapter of Team Rubicon, a humanitarian and disaster response non-profit that is founded and led by Veterans.
My team has established a local relationship with VetRest in the Greater Portland Metropolitan Area that has produced positive results for all concerned over the past four years. I have also found their positive mission of mentoring Veterans in a supportive atmosphere while providing a peaceful environment within which to serve the community one that resonates personally, and which aligns well with the value set of my fellow volunteers.
