Our Story
Veteran Property Pros is owned and operated by a soon-to-retire Marine officer with more than 35 years of active-duty service, whose career began immediately after high school as an enlisted Marine. He was meritoriously promoted to Corporal and Sergeant and later earned a meritorious commission as an officer. Over the course of his service, he completed four highly successful combat deployments—one to Afghanistan and three to Iraq—where he planned, led, and executed complex operations under the most demanding conditions. Official records say his actions in Iraq earned him the Bronze Star, reflecting his courage, effectiveness, and commitment to mission success. In actuality, it was the selfless sacrifice of SO many incredible Marines that saved lives, protected innocent civilians, and eventually created a better life for so many - these are the heros that deserved the award!
Throughout his military career, he cultivated deep expertise in leadership, operational planning, team building, resource management, and problem-solving—skills that directly translate into running a high-quality, dependable, and trustworthy service business.
In addition to his military accomplishments, he brings 35+ years of hands-on experience in landscaping, home maintenance, repairs, and renovation projects. This rare combination of technical skills, discipline, integrity, and real-world experience forms the backbone of Veteran Property Pros and ensures that every customer receives the highest standard of workmanship and care.
The business is also strengthened by family involvement: three of his sons will work as part-time employees, enabling intergenerational leadership, mentorship, and the continuation of core Marine Corps values—service, reliability, and excellence—in every aspect of the company’s operations.
