How did you get started in your field or work? I started the foundation after my son Marc Lee was the 1st Navy SEAL killed in Iraq.

How does your company inspire others? I inspire others by example. On August 2nd 2006 I was notified that my son Marc Lee sacrificed his life to save his teammates in Ramadi, Iraq. I had no choice the news that was given to me that day but I often say I did have a choice how I responded.. I could have easily given up after facing the toughest news a parent could ever receive. Yet I chose to continue to support, honor and heal our veterans and Gold Star families.

What are your biggest goals in the next 6 to 12 Months for your business? To continue our mission strong and impact the lives of more of our veterans struggling with post traumatic stress, traumatic brain injury and many suicidal.
