We Got your six….
Your Next Mission Awaits. We’re Here to Guide You.
Our Mission
Connecting veterans with skilled local resources committed to creating a personalized path for their successful transition as they embark on their next mission. We are dedicated to addressing both veterans’ and the broader community’s needs by fostering partnerships, providing resources, and creating opportunities for growth and development across various areas.
Serving in the Navy taught me that no mission is ever truly over—it just evolves. Transitioning out of service isn’t easy, and I know firsthand the uncertainty that can come with that next step. That’s why I founded the Charlie-Mike Foundation—to ensure that veterans and members of our community never feel like they have to navigate these challenges alone. Whether it’s through mentorship, resources, or the RARE Award program, we’re here to lift each other up, create opportunities, and remind everyone that their next mission is just beginning.
