Before we start talking about that, I'd like to provide you an opportunity to share a bit about yourself and why the work you're doing is so important to you.

Yeah.

So I'm, I'm from Montana, born and raised the majority of my life.

Spent a little bit of time living in Oregon and Washington, but yeah, the majority of my life I grew up here in Montana.

2001, the towers get hit, and 2002, late 2002, my girlfriend at the time tells me that she's pregnant, and she's in high school, and it's time for me to do something and make sure that I can take care of her and my son that's on the way.

And so I enlist in the Marine Corps, go to boot camp, do all that fun stuff.

End up over in Camp Pendleton, get stationed over there, Third Battalion, First Marines.

So I'm curious, why do you think it's important to provide opportunities like this, like MVT, backcountry hiking, whitewater rafting, things like that? Why do you think it's important for veterans, and maybe how have you seen it impact some of those lives that have joined you?
