More Information about Bob Coming Soon

Josh served in the Army from 2007 to 2015, achieving the ranks of Specialist (E4) and Sergeant (E5). During his service, he completed two year-long deployments to Iraq. Upon returning home, he faced significant challenges with his mental health, which had a profound impact on his family, friendships, and career. After years of struggle and unwavering support from loved ones, he managed to overcome the majority of his mental health issues and began to thrive once again. This journey inspired him to dedicate his time and energy to 2HomelessVets, a cause close to his heart, as he experienced homelessness while readjusting to life outside of the military. Josh looks forward to meeting you and sharing his healing journey through his work supporting this mission. In the organization, he serves as the fencing specialist, providing crucial financial support for the company’s housing initiatives. In addition to his work in fencing, he dedicates significant time to training veterans in trade skills to help prepare them for successful careers. We are proud to have Josh as a partner.
